i The First Book and the First Chapter, 
of the 


=== HISTORY OF ERIN! = 


Treating of the Valiant Men of Fodla and Danba. 














i Bartalman was the first ruler of the tribes of wooded Fodia, he 
is also named Partalman. 
' According to some authors Bartalman and his hosts, came to 
_ the land oí Fodla, A. M. 1969. 
Others, however, place the date of his landing A C. 1769. In 
those days it is related: That the Island was in the possession of 
a copper-colored race of savages, a tribe of the Turanians, wild and 
exceedingly fierce. 
Bartalman was therefore the first prince of the Celtic race who 
! trod the soil of Fodla. He crossed the ocean from Ceiltag, that is 
from the southwest of Europe, for that portion of Europe was in 
the possession of the Celts at that time. 

Bartalman found a fair entrance and ship-harbor near a Head- 
land covered with stately oaks. : 
... Upon this promontory he built a citadel, and founded a walled 
town. He called the place: Binn-na-dair, on account of the oak 
forest which crowned its brow. 
In after times the place was called: Benedar, and the hill of 
‘Howth, near the present city of Dublin. These are the four sons 
of Bartalman: Lir the first born, Orba, Fearan, and Feargna. Each 
“son founded for himself a city along the sea coast, and became a 
tTuler over it, and over as many of the population as chose to follow 
thim from the older settlement. 















242 


The copper-colored savages issued from their forest coverts, 
warring constantly with them, they skulked along the forest mar- . 
gin, and any person they surprised, without regard to sex or age, . 
they tortured and put to death without mercy. Ei 

On a certain day when Bartalman made a sortie on ther to ; 
drive them back, he was mortally wounded in the fray. His fol- . 
lowers buried him at the foot of Binnadair. i 

During the course oí three hundred years, the new colony had 
no abler ruler, nor more magnificent prince than Bartalman. After . 
his demise his people dwelt in the Island about three hundred years, i 
indeed until pestilence. and misfortune, together with the wars of i 
the savages, swept every vestige of them írom the land of Fodla. i 


THE SECOND CHAPTER, FIRST BOOK. NEBOG, A NEW . 
RULER, A. C. 14609. i 


Nebog heard in Ceiltag the ruin that befell his kindred in the . 
Island Elga. Thereupon he fitted out a fleet of thirty-four ships, . 
carrying a force of one thousand and twenty armed warriors. be- . 
sides his queen Maca, and his four sons: Starn, Iarbaneal, Annin,. . 
and Phyrrus. They landed on the north of the Island. They . 
fought a pitched battle with the emboldened savages, and by des- . 
perate valor, and superior discipline, gained the victory. When they . 
had retained possession of the land for twelve years, queen Maca q 
died, they buried her on a certain highland, which is called Ard- i 
maca (Armagh) to this day in her honor. Again war broke out, . 
and the copper hued savages fought fiercely, but Nebog and his . 
forces routed them in a first battle fought at the foot of mount . 
Blaoime. A second battle at Rosfraocan in the west was fought . 
where Gan and Ganan, the principal chiefs of the savages, fell by i 
the hand of Nebog. In the third encounter, Nebog suffered a re-. 
verse, íor Starn, his oldest son, was slain. In the fourth battle om ~ 
Murbuilg Nebog’s forces were nearly annihilated, and Ard, his . 
youngest son, and Joban the son of Starn, were slain, and Nebog . 
himself mortally wounded. After the disaster, the remnant under © 
the leadership of Jobat returned to Airmuirce (Armorica). a 

In the lapse of time the fir-builg (called firgneath by the Gaal) © 








243 


came from Bruitan. They numbered about five thousand and were 
under the command of five chieftains: Ruidruide, Gan, Ganan, Sean- 
- gean, and Slaigne. Slaigne was seated king of the Island. They 
held the sway of the country for eighty years under the governance 
of nine kings: Slaigne, Ruidruide, Gan, Ganan, Seangean, Fiaca, 
Ronall, Fiobgein, and Eoga. In the days of the reign of Eoga, it 
transpired that the Thuatha Danaan, came from Armorica under 
Nuagad. On the field of Magtura, near Lough Masg they met im 
battle, the Firbuilgs under Eoga and the Danaan forces mar- 
shalled by Nuagad. The battle raged in doubtful turn, until the 
fall of eventide when Eoga fell, whereupon the Firbuilgs turned 
and fled. In the battle Nuagad lost his hand, he commanded his 
chief artisans to forge him one of silver, which he wore. On this 
account he was surnamed Nuagad Airgeadlam, Nuagad the silver- 
handed. The Danaan not only defeated the Firbuilgs, but what 
was worse, reduced them to the condition of wretched slaves. The 
_ Danaanheld sway over the Island for sixty years,under seven kings: 
_ Nuagad Airgeadlam, Lugad Lamfada, son of Cian, the son of 
_ Cainte surnamed the “Ilodanac,” because of his proficiency in every 

strategy and knowledge. He united the Danaan and combined into 
_ drilled companies even the firneath who rather than be subject to. 
_ the Danaan fled to the deep forests, and the wild deserts, and the 
_ heath-covered mountains, and because at his command they came: 
to him from forest, mountain and fastness, strenuous men in battle 
_ and warfare, they styled him chief of the “Marcra Side,” i. e., of the 
i knights oí the hill. In the battle oí Mag Turead of the sea giants 
_ (pirates), Lugad broke the power and supremacy of the Sea-giants,. 
_ and liberated the Danaan from their tax and tribute forever! After 
_ this he became king over the Danaan. It was this Lugad who estab- 
lished the funeral-games of Tailtean to honor his mother, Tailte, 
_ and because they were celebrated on the first day of the month of 
August. The first day of the month August even to our own times 


_ is called the: “La-Lugad-Nasa,” the “day of Lugad’s games.” Lua- 
_ gad Lamfada, Dagad, Delbiot, Fiaga, Breas, and the three sons of 





~ Cearmada together: Eathur, Teathur, and Ceathur, for a period 
_ of twenty-three years, each in turn reigned his year. 

____ The three brothers married three sisters, Eathur married Beanba, 
_ Teathur, Fodla, and Ceathur, Eire. Eathur worshipped his gods 


- | 244 

in the sylvan glades and was surnamed MacCoill; Teathur paid 
homage to the plow, and was surnamed MacCeuct ; Seathur adored 
the sun and was called: MacGreine. | 

The knowledge and fame oí these events, have been bhrá 
down to us solely by tradition, or as is said írom mouth to ear; 
for there was no knowledge of the art of writing in that remote 
age. “These are the names which the happy Island bore at different 
periods: Fodia, Innis Elca, Innis Fail, Danba or Banba, Eire, 
Errion, 'Ibernia. 

We have now arrived at the period in the Island’s fictary when 
a new people became dominant, introducing letters and the art of 
writing. Amongst them there was a caste titled, “Ollams,” whose 


office it was to chronicle accurately public events as they transpired 





Herewith are given the names of the ancestors of the mighty ' ! 


race of Er: Ardfear, who came a fugitive from Seanatar (Sennar) 
to Ermioniat (Armenia), he was called Naoi (Noe), the protoparent 
of the Naoimadeis (Nomads), he was likewise called Er. Macer, 
the son of Er, called Japhet. Og, who conquered Magog, called 


Erogulis. Jaban, who colonized Greece, Ogageis, the father of the 


-Ogagites, Dorca, Glas, File, Daire, Cealgac, Calma, Ronard, Eolus, 
the king of Gaalag, a famous scholar, it was he who wrote the book 
of Chronicles of Gaalag. Don, Lugad, Ceanmor, Ceanard, Marcac, 
Cuir, Aod, Iber, Maoil, Ibermaoil, Marcac the son of Ibermaoil, 
Noid, Og the son of Marcac, Ardfear, Bille the son of Engsac, and 


Eocaid, this was the ruler whom Sruamac defeated. According to . 


some authorities this Sruamac is identical with Sesac or Sesostris, 


son of Ammon, ruler of Egypt, while others claim Sesac to be iden- . 


tical with Melcart, king of the Fenians of Phoenicia. 


The five sons of Eocaid survived the national disaster: Marcac, i 
Iolar, Daire, Blat, and Colba, they were swept from the field by the . 


retreating hosts. After the havoc wrought by Sruamac, the prince 


Ith arose in the midst of the assembled survivers, and addressed i 


them: © Gaal Scioth Iber awake! What matters it to me if the 


waters of abyss and the great pit are terrible? Is destruction by . 
water, air or earth, or even by fire itself as terrifying to the Gaal . 
Scioth of Iber as the gyves of slavery? Baal himself can destroy . 
but once? And so ends the pain of body and mind, the spirit is . 














245 


free. But the body of the captive enslaved languishes continually, 
the soul becomes oppressed with the shrivelled body. As the bow 
that is constantly strung loses its power so with the spirit that 
submits to slavery: 

-I have frequently sailed my ship across the world of waters to 
Bruitan. On one occasion after adjusting a controversy of the 
Gaal, when returning to Gaalag my ship was driven from her course 
to the westward by the force of current and tempest, we scudded 
before the gale until we came to a wooded country, a land of rugged: 
aspect. We were but a small band, nevertheless the natives fled at 
our approach, we drank the sweet waters of the land! Ith will 
again sail thither and return in season to pilot che way to all who 
prefer danger to bondage. As for Ith. if ke lives at all he desires © 
to live free! The import of Ith’s discourse seemed good to both 
chiefs and Gaal. They made ready three staunch ships of single- 
tier oars, and picked up a hundred and twenty valiant men who had 
not yet entered wedlock. As the wind arose they set sail steering 
westward, following the going of Baal. The misfortunes and 
afflictions of the Gaal increased daily, Famine and Pestilence were 
on foot, Misery brooded over Gaalag, the hill of counsel was lonely, 
the Asti without the holy fire. Only the priests remain in the 
Raths which guard the highways of the land, the rest are busily 
employed, that all things may be ready against the return of Ith. 
They work in relays at ship-building for the fleet, from the first 
light until darkness falls, the hum of industry ceases not. Marcac 
and the chieftains have their tents pitched around Astiereis. Lo! 
the beacon light burns day and night on Breocean of Gaalag: to: 
guide Ith and his companions on their homeward course. Now 
when Baal was in the first division of his house Tionnscnadi 
(March), the coast-watch saw a ship making toward land. AIE 
Gaalag came down to the port to behold the prince returning: As 
the ship drew within the harbor, the allhail of the Gaal resounded. 
through the air. When they cast anchor, Lugad the som of: Ith,. 
stood in the presence of Marcac, and I Ordac, the Ardollam, stood! 
by; Marcac inquired. Why do not I behold Ith? Has he remained! 
behind?) How fares it with Ith? Lugad placed his hand on his: 
bosom, and lowering his eyes sadly, pointed to the ship, saying in 
answer to Marcac: Ith is no more, my father that: was, lies in the 





246 


ship rotting! When the sorrowful news was heard, a cry went 
up from the Gaal that pierced the sky, the body of Ith was carried 
ashore, a circle of fires kindled and a guard set. In the morning 
they bore the body to the Carn, and I Ordac intoned the death 
chant, and the women and maidens took up the refrain, after that 
Cier, the son of Eocaid, surnamed the Gollam, raised the battle song 
over the prince. | 

As soon as they had rolled the stone against the door of the 
house of darkness (sepulchre), Marcac unsheathed his sword, and 
holding it aloft swore by the spirit of Baal, and the chieftains like- 
wise, and the Gaal lifting up their hands swore by Baal, and the 
matrons and the maidens lifting up their hands swore by Re 
Moon), and Tarsnasc (Hosts of Heaven), that they would go to 
the land where Ith. was wounded, and avenge his death. On the 
day subsequent to the burial, Marcac prepared the death feast, and 
invited the nobles and chieftains to hear the story of Ith. 

After they had partaken of the banquet, Lugad sat on an ele- 
vated rostrum near the king. Marcac thus addressed him: If it 
pleaseth Lugad, we would listen to the story of Ith? Then Lugad 
arose and in a clear voice spoke as follows: When Ith beheld the 
sorrows that befell Gaalag, he preferred danger to tribute, death 
to slavery, he sailed to a strange land to discover a new abode for 
the Gaal, where they might dwell without hearing the voice of a 
‘master. We sailed westerly, we sighted Britain, and avoided Scaoil- 
ead and Cosantiridir (Cassitiridae). On the eighth day out from 
Dunmianac, we hailed the land we sought, we coasted along it for 
four days and four nights, until the waters of a river offered a 
favorable harbor. Ith divided his force into three parts, one he 
‘stationed to guard the ships, the other two to accompany him into 
the interior. Two races inhabit the land, we discovered the more 
mumerous race was vanquished and held in servitude by the lesser; 
‘but the victors are hated by the vanquished. They rejoiced at our 
advent for they drag out an existence in cruel bondage. Ith in- 
quired for the chief of the country, after two days had elapsed 
‘messengers came to guide us to his presence. Ith called a council 
of the captains of his bands. Some of them proposed: Why 
should we march further into the interior, have we not seen enough? 
Let us return home, and come in force and conquer this land.

247 


. But to this counsel Ith objected: By no means, the natives would 
then interpret our action as fear. Let Gol remain here to guard 
the ships with one-third of the force and should our expedition 
prove unfortunate let him return with haste to Gaalag and relate 
to Marcac this commission from Ith: O Marcac, conduct hither 
_ the children of Iber, here pitch the tents of the Gaal. Gol sought 
_ earnestly to accompany us on the march but without avail. 
The first day we marched with great circumspection, passing the 
_ night under armed watch. The following morning Ith commanded 
the guides into his presence and said: We will proceed no further, 
‘but will await your ruler here another day if he desires to see us. 
When half the second day was spent, we saw a multitude advancing, 
‘as they approached we discerned that they held huge bludgeons 
in their hands; but they had neither cran-tubal (sling), bow nor 
_ quiver, nor the sharp lances of battle. They were tall, large-limbed, 
- fair-complectioned men. Although it was a large, forbidding host, 
nevertheless we closed up to them. They often repeated, “Danbaa, 
and Danaan,” and beat their servants in our presence, calling them 
~“Cloden.” 
Without delay we observed, that they began to throw com- 
‘panies to our rear, as if to cut off our return to the ships. 
F Then Ith gave order: Keep your rear passage open at all haz- 
ard, for we are but few. 
| The encounter began by the natives giving a wild shout, and . 
hurling large stones at us with much force, thereupon we bent 
_ the bow and swung the crantubal. Thus was our little company of 
Gaal hard pressed for three days, though by discipline and superior- 
ity of arms we held them at bay until Gol with the third division all 
but nine whom he left as guards for the ships, came with reinforce- 
ments, clearing the way for an orderly retreat. During the three 
terrible days, every Gaal fought like a hero, or if perchance he fell, 
died with his face to the enemy. My father, Ith, was mortally 
- wounded but he did not expire on the field, we bore him off to the 
ships. I Lugad did not ascend my own ship, but remained with my 
father, a short time before his death he called me and said: Mar- 
cac may with safety conduct the Gaal to this land of forests. The 
serfs will aid him in the conquest. Do not prolong a second day 
_ of the Gaal Scioth Iber’s sorrow in Gaalag——. Such was the last

words of Ith the famous, the son of Bille, the brother of Eocaid, 
who was surnamed Gollam. i 

Now the day that Baal crossed the threshold of Baalteine (May) . 
all preparations were completed, and the children of the Gaal : 
Scioth Iber, Naoimadeis, and Ogageis, the remnant surviving the : 
invasion of Sruamac, were aboard, ready to weigh anchor, and | 
leave Gaalag (Iberiat or Spain) after a sojourn of four hundred. ) 
and eighty-four years in that land. Baal favored until we hove . 
in sight of the desired land. Then a tempest blewvand scattered . 
the fleet in all directions. Twelve ships were wrecked. That day . 
Colba and his crew went down at the mouth of the river of the 
land (Ionbior Colba). Cier and his crew foundered at Benntirrion 
an domain. The remainder of the fleet landed with Marcac, . 
Iolar, and Blath, the sons of Gollam the hero, and with Lugad, . 
the son of Ith. f 

Er, the son of Cier, was saved, for he had remained with the. 
sons of Marcac, his playmates, in Gaalag. 

After the landing, Marcac issued command: We will each 
leave three armed men, and all the women and children in the 
ships, while we take up the march to avenge the blood of Ith 
and subdue the country. They had spread the cloth to see to 
whose lot it would fall to remain with the ships, when both men 
and women cried out as with one voice: Leave none behind, let. 
all die together or together share the glory of avenging the blood . 
of Ith. The Gaal then armed; the forces were ordered for bat- © 
tle, the men of the land also gathered together, they were far . 
more numerous than the Gaal, perchance twenty to one. The 
engagement had not lasted long when company after company . 
of the “Cloden” began to desert to us. Forthwith the masters fled . 
from the thick of the fight. The following day the conflict was © 
renewed, the men of the land were defeated. Their bludgeons did. . 
not prevail, even the serfs when armed with our superior weapons, ' 
wounded them sorely. | | 

On the third day the chieftain of the land sent an embassy to: ~ 
Marcac, having their bludgeons slung to their backs, and their . 
arms crossed on their breasts in sign of peace. | 

Now it so happened that eight years previously a ship man- | 
ned by the Gaal, in coming from Britain, was wrecked on the

breakers of this coast. They had become conversant with the 
language of the Danaan. The Danaan sent them to Marcac 
with the embassy as interpreters. 

After attesting their joy at seeing their kindred, they spoke 
now in the tongue of the Gaal, now in the tongue of the Danaan. 
Thus was a treaty made and ratified between the chiefs of [ber 
and the Danaan. 

The Danaan added: You have indeed wrested the victory from 
us owing to the treachery of the Cloden. The Danaan will not 
therefore submit to your rule, nor give tribute. We will cross 
to the far side of the Seanaman (Shannon) and we will dwell 
there between it and the great sea in the land of Ultonnmact 
(plain of mighty waves). We will not trespass on your side, nor 
you on our side of the river. Furthermore as the Cloden is on 
your hands do with them as you will, but remember if you show 
them kindness, or place trust in them they will betray it. 

On that day the second day of the entrance of Baal into his Di- 
vision Sgith (June 2) the covenant was ratified. 

The Danaan raised a great stone where the treaty was struck, 
while I Ordac, the Ardollam, inscribed the words of the covenant 
in the Chronicles of the Gaal, as a perpetual memory of the trans- 
action. 

Then Marcac said: Let this place be called: Magmortiomna 
(Field-of-the-great-testament), and all the assembly answered: Yea, 
Peace ensued. | 

The Danaan set out for the territory allotted him by the 
treaty, the Firgneath remain with the Gaal. Marcac has pitched 
his tents on Magmortiomna, and the tents of all Iber are arranged 
in proximity, for Marcac said: It behooves us to remain en- 
camped until the Danaan shall have crossed the river to provide 
against possible treachery. 

The Firgneath render us acceptable service, the Gaal also 
who shipwrecked on the coast in the days of Eocaid Gollam, abide 
with us. 

They relate of Cloden that is the Cegaal Firgneath (aborig- 
ines), that they were created from the elements of the soil. That 
the Danaan came from Armorica, vanquished the Firgneath and 
reduced them to servitude. That neither of the races had heard 


250 

of Baal. After an encampment of three months on Magmor- 
tiomna, Marcac summoned the chieftains of the Gaal Scioth Iber 
to a council in the presence of the assembled Gaal, he arose in 
their midst and said: O chiefs, the land is accessible to the foot 
of the children of Iber, what if we should make a tour of inspec- 
tion? No one knoweth its boundary? How shall we proceed? 
Perchance the Danaan might revolt? Shall we spread out, or 
remain massed in force, what is your will? Our fighting force is 
small, decimated by the destruction of Baal. For in truth, 
Sruamac, the drought, the pestilence, and famine, were but his 
instruments, hence our phalanx is short-numbered.  Colba lies 
tombless under the waves. Cier cannot hear any more the voice 
of Marcac—alas, the pity of it! Cuier lieth under his Carn, his 
death-cry chanted, and his battle-song sung, and Marcac cried 
bitterly, and the assembled host lifting up their voice wept. 

After a short interval Marcac proposed: What if Blath should 
speak? 

Blath answered: What if we march massed together? Then 
Marcac asked what saith Iolar? Iolar answered: What if the 
Gaal be divided into three columns, the first column to march 
within trumpet call of the second, and the second to march 
within trumpet call of the third, all to march in line at the same 
rate of progress? Now on the threshold of Tirim, that is first 


day of October, Marcac at the head of his column took up the . 


march to the North. To the right of Marcac, Blath marched his 
column, and to the right of Blath, lolar marched his detachment. 
‘The Ollams, bards, cromfears (priests) and poets, were divided 
amongst the chieftains, but the women and children marched 
with the tribe to which they belonged, and the Firgneath pointed 
out the highways and byways, and the trails through the land. 


Now Er, the son of Cier, marched alongside Marcac, hold- 
ing his hand; indeed, the hero shortened his strides to correspond 
to the steps of the stripling. As. we marched we came upon the 
waters of an unfordable river, where the construction corps and 
the carpenters made a pontoon bridge, for Marcac had burned 
the ships in which he had voyaged from Gaalag. After we crossed 
the bridge of boats, he continued the march, until we saw the 
peak of a mountain which is the extremity of the world, thence

we deflected our course, and descended to the plain, and marched 
until we came to the place where the mighty warrior Cier was 
drowned. 

4 Marcac desired to visit the Carn, where lay the beloved brother 
of his heart. 

As we marched through the land we found some Gaal of the. 
_ stock of Iber, we heard them frequently speaking the language 
of the Gaal, still they had no knowledge of Iber nor Dunmianac, 
i they freely proffered us provision from their produce. We stood 
on the shore only a short distance from the Carn of Cier, yet 
' Marcac could not cross on account of the roughness of the waves, 
but with uplifted eyes and outstretched hands he besought: May 
! the spirit of Cier be immortal! Henceforth we will call this river 
“Tber,” in memory of the hero, the son of Iber, the glory of the 
race! When we returned to our brethren they too wished to 
behold the tomb of Cier, but Marcac forbade it. 

_ We proceeded on the march until we touched the waters of 
_the Seanaman (Shannon) beyond which stretches away the land of 
the Danaan. Keeping the Seanaman on our left we marched 
i until we reached the source oí that stream. Thence we pro- 
ceeded westward until we stood above the waters of the great 
deep. What we heard was true: That the great waves of the sea 
break on the strand not far distant from the source of the Seana- 
“man. We journeyed northward keeping the ocean to our left- 
~ hand, until we again confronted the world of water. Following 
the margin of the land until we again came to the end, we turned 
to the south, and marched, until on the threshold of Baalteine 
(May), the whole force entered the plains of Magmortiomna, as 
was appointed before the enterprise was begun. Now we were 
certain: That the waters of the ocean surround the land, that 
it is an island. 

_ After their fatiguing journey the Gaal rested nine days. Mar- 
_ cac then convoked an assembly, and standing in their midst ad- 
dressed them: When the Gaal migrated from Iber to a strange 
land, did they not give names to Ifouses, hills, plains, rivers, yea 


_ even to the waves of the sea, in order to remind them of the 
| name of Er forever? What if this land standing apart be called: 

“ER-RION” (portion of Er)? We are, and will be, the Gaal 
. Scioth Iber, Naoimadeis, Ogageis for ever! 


252 


This territory is too extensive for a single ruler. The nobles: 
elected me king in Gaalag, but Errion is not Gaalag? What saith. 
the princes and chiefs in these public concerns? If not prepared. 
to deliver an opinion, what if we defer the question nine days, © 
and at the expiration of that time hold another assembly? It wa 4 


so agreed. i 
At this time the priests also came together, and elected Blath, 


the son of Gollam Ardcromfear to replace Fionar who remained 
in Gaalag because he was sick and broken with age... q 

After the nine days had elapsed, the assembly met, and Iber:. 
(Marcac) addressed them: As was said, the land is extensive, the. 
Gaal required six months to march around their portion “of it... 
What eye can see, what voice can be heard, what hand reach . 
so far? Three descendants of the hero survive, what saith the 
chiefs? Now Blath presided on the mount as Ardcromfear, Iber . 
was as gentle as the summer zephyr,-the princes all were silent. . 
After a while Blath arose and said: Three of the race survive, let. 
the land be divided between Iber and Iolar. It is my part, and. 
my glory, that I am one of the race, but my portion will be Baal! . 

When Blath had finished speaking the chiefs struck their 
shields, and the surrounding Gaal raised a great shout, calling . 
the name of Cier. After a little Aongais (Aeneas), a chief of the: 
Gaal said: Is Cier so soon forgotten? Cier lieth under his carn. 
but his spirit lives. Going to the side of Iber, where little Er 
stood, he took the boy’s hand and said: The spirit of Cier still . 
lives in his son? i 

Will the land be portioned and the child oí Cier despoide of 
the share which would have belonged to his father? á 

When Aongais finished the Gaal shouted, invoking the spirit.. 
of Cier on his son. i 

Blath replied to this address by stating: That he had given i 
his opinion in the manner he had, because it was well known to 
the nobles and the Gaal that Er was not oí the proper age to. 
rule? To wkich Aongias made answer: When Enar, the father . 
of Eolus, the wise, was an orphan, and the only survivor of the . 
race, nine chiefs of the Gaal, acted regents for twenty years . 
and four. Connot the portion of Er in Errion be so governed, dur- . 
ing the thirteen years of his minority? Then the Gaal called . 
loudly for Iber to protect the orphan boy. ) i 





.. 258 
_ __Iber therefore arose and proposed: What if the territory be 
divided into three kingdoms, and by the cast of the die Er, the 
_ son of Cier, and Iolar and Iber will assume their allotted por- 
tions? But all the assembly answered: Not so, let Iber choose 
his kingdom first. But Iber dissented, saying: Spread the cloth 
for the cast, for Iber will accept only by his lot like the others. 
So the land of Errion was parcelled into three kingdoms. Deas, 
_ the south kingdom, fell to Iber, the most southern province of 
_ which was assigned to Lugad, the son of Ith, the first bard of 
_ Erin, who pitched his tents (i. e., made a settlement), looking out — 
on the great sea. The north boundary of Iber’s kingdom formed 
the southern terminus of TIolar’s. Er’s kingdom stretched 
from the north of Iolar’s to the extremity of the island, 
and the Cegaal Firgneath occupied a reservation between the 
_ Kingdom of Er and the territory of the Danaan. Nine chief- 
_ tains of the Gaal reigned for Er, until he should attain his ma- 
jority. Blath held the office of Ardcromfear (high-priest). Their 
portions were also assigned to the chieftains, Ollams, Cromfears, 
poets, bards, and to all the Gaal. Up to the present, however, no 
one had leisure to listen to the prelections of the Ollams. 
After the lapse of a year a contention arose between Iber and 
lolar regarding territorial boundaries, but Iber related to me, 
Ordac, the Ardollam, that Blath was the real cause of the dis- 
turbance. 
Now for the first time the Gaal unsheathed the sword in inter- 
 mecine strife, and alas! Iber fell by the hand of Iolar. 
__ They constructed Iber’s Carn on the spot where he fell. After 
they had chanted the death-cry, and sung the battle song, Lugad 
said: Let this mound be called Ce-iosiol (Cashel) forever! 
_ Note:—TI will write down here the “Eugcaoin” (death-cry), or 


elegy, which Lugad, the son of Ith, composed, and sang over his 
wife, Fial:

After the battle in which Iber met his death, I Ordac, the 
“ Ardollam, did not return to Deas, but set out for the kingdom of . 
Er, the son of Cier. I carried with me the writings of Eolus, . 
and the Chronicles of the Gaal, which Marcac entrusted into my 4 
hands and keeping before our migration from Gaalag, for the 
successive kings had preserved these writings from the days of 
Ardfear, or Naoi, the pratoparcnt of is race. | 


FIRST BOOK, AND FOURTH CHAPTER. ' 


THE REIGN OF IOLAR AS ERMION FOR THIRTEEN . 
YEARS, ACCORDING TO OUR COMPUTATION, FROM .. 
B. C. 1004 TO got. 1 


_ Iber was slain the year B. C. Ioo4. They buried him in the. 
land Ceiosiol where stands a mighty Carn to his memory. Er is. 
yet a youth and none of the sons of Iber have reached the proper . 
age to rule; on this presumption Iolar began to rule over Deas, . 
indeed he arrogated to himself the right to order the chieftains . 
regent in the kingdoms of Iber and ‘Er. a 

He commanded and countermanded, just as if he held the sov- . 
ereign sway, styling himself ‘““Ermion.” i 

Now Lugad, the son of Ith, prince of Iblugad, remonstrated . 
with Iolar, saying: What if nine chieftains act as regents in. 
Deas until the firstborn of Iber attain the age, even as is the case . 
in the kingdom of Er? This was the answer Iolar made: Keep 
within the terminus of thy own Tanasteac, O Lugad, what con- 
cern of thine is the affairs of the children of Iber? After a time i 
- a rumor of the dissatisfaction of the chieftains of Deas reached . 
the ear of Iolar, saying: Doth Iolar deem that he will assume . 





! 255 
_ the sovereignty in the birthright of Iber? By our heads it shall 


_ not be! Therefore, he instructed Blath: Go quickly and take 


I up the reins of government in Deas, and after a time I will con- 
fer more at length with thee on the matter. So Blath set out 
_ for the kingdom of Deas. At this same time Iolar began to dis- 


close his purposes to Aongais, who communicated them to the 


_ chieftains. All, however, by one accord, were determined to save 
_ the kingdom of Er from the encroachments of Iolar. 


a Every eye regardeth Er with affection, he deyotes mucR time 
to the reading oí Eolus, and placed it as an official ie of the 
_ Ollams to nourish the spirits of the youth. 

Now it transpired that while Blath presided in Deas Erac, 
_ the firstborn of Iber, became of age, and the chiefs of the Gaal 
in that land said: No one but Erac shall rule over us! There 
_ was a compact between [Iolar and Blath, whereby he should hold 
_ the kingdom as the vassal of Iolar, for Blath said: Am not I 
_ also of the race of Er? Therefore, he styled himself “Amer- 
id gein” (one begotten oí Er). It so chanced that Amergein had 
. not yet taken a wife, which fact awakened in Iolar the hope that 
_ he would obtain the sovereignty oí Errion. Moreover the chief- 


_ tains protested that it was not lawful for Amergein to be king 


and Ardcromfear at the same time. To which Amergein an- 
_ swered: I will rule until Erac acquires experience. Shortly after 
this occurrence Amergein married Cora, the sister of Lugad. 
_ Immediately Iolar proclaimed: That Erac, the son of his brother 


_ Iber, had attained the age. Amergein answered him: Amer- 


_ gein rules in his own right. [Iolar incited the children of Iber 
_ against Amergein. He also sent messengers into the Kingdom of 
_Er to the chiefs-regent, saying: Will you suffer Amergein to 
_ drive Erac; the son of Iber, from his thronet They pany sees, we 
_ will abide. 

. At this time also Er, the son of Cier, attained the age, and 


_ the chieftains placed him on the throne to rule over them. In 
_ these days also the cromfear of Gaalen were assembled to legis- 





late for the children of the soil, and Amergein was presiding as 
_Ardcromfear. Then Tirac, a captain with an armed band came, 
' and surrounding the mount, slew Amergein and went their way, 
_ but the assembled priests buried Amergein, and threw a heap of 


= 


256 


stones on his grave, calling it “BREUG,” on account of the false- 
hood and treachery of Iolar. Notwithstanding they elected Erial, 
the son of Iolar, to the office of Ardcromfear. At this period the © 
three sons of Iber had attained the proper age to rule, but when 





the chieftains of Deas assembled, a rumor circulated through the 4 


convention: That Erac, the oldest, was subservient to the wishes . 
of Iolar. So Torlath arose in the midst of the assembled chiefs, i 


saying: Is it true that Erac is the servant oí Iolar? Erac arose . 


guickly and in a clear voice made answer to the accusation: Erac . 
never was, and never will be the servant oí Iolar, nor any one else, i 
Erac is the son of Iber! Thereupon they installed Erac king in . 
place of his father. This event proved distasteful and saddening . 
to the spirit of Iolar, for he had hoped a quite different outcome. . 
As these events therefore transpired contrary to his expectations, . 
melancholy swamped his soul and he sank: gradually until he } 
died. The days of his reign from the death of Iber were thirteen . 
years complete. i 

Erial summoned together the cromfir of Gaalen and many of . 


the Gaal, and they raised the Carn of Iolar. They chanted the . 
death-cry, but no battle song was sung, for no one had the hardi- . 


hood to laud the valor of Iolar in battle. 


I. BOOK. “THE VoCHAPTER: 


THE LEAGUE OF THE SONS OF IOLAR, year B. C. gor. i 


The sons of Iolar did not summon the chieftains of Gaalen to- . 
gether, but made a combine among themselves, saying: Do 
thou, O Erial, retain the office of Ardcromfear, and we Mumna, 
Luigne, and Laisne, will occupy the throne a year each in turn. 
And it was carried out as they had determined. 

Mumna arrogated to himself the title of Ermion. This fact 


caused Erac and all the children of Iber to send a legation to i. 
King Er, the son of Cier, with this message: Will Er humble . 


himself before the sons of Iolar? Does he fear that they will 4 


slay him as they murdered our father in the land Ceiosiol, and i. 


then mourned over him? If Er would declare himself? On the . | 
arrival of the embassy, Ordac, the chief ollam, was confined to i. 











257 


4 his couch by sickness; Er, the king, consulted with the chieí- 


tains Aongais and Aod, and Togher, the ollam, laying the words 
oí the message beíore them, and adding: That it was his opin- 
ion that Er should remain within the boundaries of his own realm. 

These words seemed good and prudent to the consultors, so 
they adopted them as their answer, and after the conference they 
wrote them down and sent them by the hands of his messengers 
to Erac. At this interval Ordac died, and Togher was chosen 
Ardollam in the Kingdom of Er, for all the ollams came thither, 
and Er respected and honored them. 


At this period the chieftains dwell in their respective Tanas- 
teacs, the ollams in their tents, but bards and poets were quar- 
tered with the chiefs, while the Gaal were located on their por- 
tions of the soil throughout the country. 

The “Bruiteine” (fire-hill or sacred mount) or the Raths of 
the cromfear and carneac were not yet properly established, be- 
cause up to the present the land was not thoroughly explored. 
The Danaan observed the conditions of the covenant faithfully. 
The Cegaal Firgneath are happy under our governance, and 
love us. 

After Mumna had ruled his year, Luigne occupied the coe 
calling himself Ermion. And after Luigne’s year, Laisne did in 
like manner. 

Now it came to pass in the eleventh moon of first year of 
Laisne’s reign that Mumna died, then Laisne sent a legation to 
Erac, the king of Deas, saying: What time will Erac send rep- 
resentatives to establish the boundaries, that Laisne too may send 
_ his on the day appointed? Erac dismissed the embassy from his 
_~ presence, saying: The terminus of the kingdom of Deas is already 
established. Laisne convened the chieftains and the Gaal to set 
_ up the boundary-stones, and they journied with staves and hounds 
as if on a hunting expedition. 

I But the men of Deas íull armed came by íorced marches to 
_ the place of the disputed boundaries. No sooner had Erac heard 
_ that Laisne came like a huntsman bearing a staff, than he said: 
_ It is well, a son of Iber will not draw the sword against the staff. 
_ As the men of Gaalen came in sight, the men of Deas who had 
_ cut down poles and put away their swords, hastened to meet them. 


258 


When Erac advanced a step in front of his troop, Laisne came 
up to him, each holding a staff in his hand, Erac said to him: 
Doth Laisne find game and agreeable diversion so far from 
home? Or perchance he has come with his goodly band to visit. 
the tents of Iber? ' 

But Laisne answered: Ermion came hither to stop the foot of. 
Iber from straying beyond the terminus of his own kingdom.. 
Scarecly had he uttered the last word when Erac struck him on. 
‘the head with his staff, and before Luigne and the Gaal of Gaalen. 
could approach he rained blow after blow on him until he fell 
unconscious to the ground. Now Luigne and the Gaal of Gaalen, 


and Eran, brother of Erac, and the men of Deas hastened to the- : 


spot, they contended with their staves over his prostrate íorm. 


until he was killed, nor was long until Luigne also fell. The men. J 


of Gaalen seeing the second brother fall broke ranks and fled, and 
the men of Deas taunted them, saying: Whither away so fast, O: 
_valliant men of Gaalen? Did you not come with your Ermions. 
to establish the boundaries of the kingdom? 

Now Erac sounded the trumpet, and they gathered together 
and the bodies of Laisne and Luigne were stretched side by side,. 
and forming a circle about them, Erac stood in their midst and. 
addressed them: My valiant soldiers, when my father, [ber, went, 


to Ceiosiol at the invitation of Iolar, there Iolar slew him by . 
treachery, and then hypocritically bewailed him, saying: O the . 


flower of Gollam hath fallen in his prime! 


O spirit of Iber, look down on thy sons to-day, for they are- 


wreaking vengeance for thy blood so foully shed! 
For this reason no one shall ever point their finger, saying > 
Lo! there is the Carn of the sons of Iolar. 


Erac then commanded that both bodies be cast into the waters. . 


and it was done accordingly. Erac likewise instructed his follow-. 
ers, saying: When girding on your swords take your staves also, 
and show them to your children, for it was with them you humbled 
the Ermions. Erac then returned to his own kingdom.

FIRST BOOK, SIXTH CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF ERIAL, SEVENTEEN YEARS, B. C. 988 
TO 971. 


There survived but two sons of Iolar, Erial, the Ardcromfear, 
and Balb (Dumb), who was so tongue-tied that no one could 
understand the word of his mouth. 

The chieftains of Gaalen said: It is unlawful for the Ard- 
cromfear to wage war, the priests can elect another, for Erial must 
occupy the throne of his father. 

Erial entertained their proposition, and Bioradac was ele- 
vated to the ardcromfear dignity. Now in those days the children 
of Iber began to be contumacious, they styled their brother Erac, 
the king, Ermion, saying: Are not the sons of Iber the first 


“born of the Gollam? They stirred up strife in the kingdom of 


Gaalen. Then the chieftains of Gaalen consulted Erial, saying: 
What if we send an embassy to King Erac, requesting that he 
observe the peace, or otherwise——. Erial therefore sent to 
Erac, saying: O son of Iber, when our fathers subjugated this © 
land, it was divided by lot, did not Iber then receive his share? 
Did not Iolar, who was Ermion, receive his part? Were not the 
termini established, and our fathers swore that each one would 
abide within the limits of his proper kingdom? 

When Laisne besought thee to arrange the boundaries thou 


_ didst recur to violence and arms. Was not Laisne and Luigne 


slain by thee? Dost thou not call thyself Ermion, a title which 
pertaineth not to thee? The chieftains of Gaalen, and Erial, the 


_ King, desire that the boundaries be definitely established. Erial 
_ loveth peace, yet he feareth not the sword, answer then, O Erac, 
_ yea or nay, and no more, 


Although Erac did not assemble the chiefs of Deas notwith- 


_ standing he sent this reply to Erial: By Baal, doth the eaglets 
- still sniff the blood of the horseman (Marcac) shed on Ceiosiol ? 
 O brood of Iolar, fly not so high, or I will clip thy wings and ring 
_ thy nose—Erac saith—nay. 


As soon as the chieftains of Gaalen heard the answer to the 


message they cried with one voice: To arms, to arms! The 





260 


warriors of Gaalen marched in their phalanxes to the hills of. 
Earb, where they were confronted by the hosts of Deas in battle . 
array. The battle began at the dawn of day and raged with ex- . 
ceeding fury until darkness covered the face of the earth. In this . 
engagement Erac, the king, and Eran and Erbac, his brothers, 
were slain. The forces of Gaalen then returned to their own . 
kingdom. | 
Ernac, the sole survivor of the sons of Iber, was elected to rule . 

as king of Deas. | : ; 
Er, the son of Cier, the king, ruled peacefully in his own . 
dominions, he heeded not the clamors of the sons of Iber and . 
folar. Erial, the king of Gaalen, also lived in peace to the end i 
of his days, with the exception of that day on the hills of Earb. i 
The duration of his reign was seventeen years. 



















THE FIRST BOOK, AND SEVENTH CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF ETERIAL, THIRTEEN YEARS B. C. 971 i 
TO 958. ; 


Eterial was elected king of Gaalen to succeed his father; he . 
placed his father before his eyes as the exemplar of his conduct. . 
He walked in his father’s footsteps in all things. It is I Eterial . 
‘who write these words that they may be a lasting memorial of Erial . 
‘and his son to the eyes of both the nobles and the Gaal. During . 
the twelve years and more which I occupied the throne I trans- 
acted nothing arbitrarily in the presence of the children of the 
land. ; 

Peace rested like a benediction over the kingdom. Maratel,. 
the wife and companion of Eterial, and his two sons died, Filait © 
being the sole surviving child. 4 

The spirit of Eolus lives in Eterial, shining as the light of gE 
truth to his people forever! The children of the land will drink | 
in the spirit of Eolus. : i 

How gracious it would be to me, if the race of Iber were like... 
the race of Er, who day by day listens to the wisdom of Eolus.. i 
Er is like an oak growing on fertile soil, sound and strong. Ete-.. 
rial regards Er as a íriend and brother, are not we the children of. i 








261 

Gollam brothers? O sons and daughters oí Erin, cherish one 
another íor Erin is more lovely than Gaalag. O Gaal Scioths, lis- 
ten to the counsel of Eterial: Sprinkle the waters of wisdom over 
the flaming fire of passion. Let the light of Baal shine on you. 
Avoid Cosantiridir, do not go to the land of tin, avoid intercourse 
with the children of Feine, they have soft words on the tongue, 
but deception in the heart, the spirit of contention and covetous- 
ness burns constantly in them. 

In those days Conmaol, the son of Erac, succeeded Ernac on 
the throne of Deas. Already he has imbrued his hands in the blood 
of Balb. Conmaol is ambitious and thirsts for dominion, there- 
fore it is necessary for Eterial to prepare for war. O children 
of Gaalen, should I return safe from the rage of Conmaol, I will 
continue to rule as was my ctstom, for the glory of the king 
arises from the esteem of his people. Such was Erial, to be such 
is the desire of his son. What if Conmaol masses the forces of 
_ Deas, Eterial will not involve Er in the war. 


If the forces of Gaalen fail to withstand the power of Con- 
maol, then Erin will witness evil days. Eterial sent. his writings 
by the hand of Marcac to the tents of Togher, where they remained 
many days. Er gave audience concerning the controversy between 
Deas and Gaalen. The feud between them caused his heart to 
be sorrowful. After the departure of Marcac Er said to me, 
Togher: O Togher, inscribe the words of Eterial such as are 
pertinent to the subject on the pages of the book of Chronicles 
of the land. Er, the king, said likewise: I thank Ordac and 
thee, O Togher, because you have instructed my intellect in just 
knowledge, be the same to my son, Iber, guard him from the ser- 
pent of pride, and the dragon of envy which destroy beneficence. 
Now curriers came with the word that Eterial, the wise, had fallen 
in the battle of Ardcoran. There his Carn was constructed, he 
had reigned king of Gaalen thirteen years. 


THE FIRST BOOK, EIGHTH CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF CONMAOL, TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS, 
B. C. 958 TO 931. 


At this time Filiat, the son of Eterial, was elected king over 
Gaalen, but Conmaol assumed the title of Ermion with much arro- 


gance.

Now on the fifty-sixth year, the second quarter and first day 
since the occupation of Erin by the Gaal, Er, the son of Cier, died, 
after a reign of forty-two years. All the children of the kingdom 
gathered to the royal tents where Er lay in death, and great lamen- 
tation was made. After nine days the body of Er, the king, was 
buried in Maginse where his Carn stands. I Togher was led by 
my brothers for my eyes are dim and my feet weak, slowly that 
cortege marched as if unwilling to part with our beloved one, 
though dead. With my aged voice I weakly chanted the death- 
cry, and all the minstrels sounded the dirge on their narps. But 
no battle-song was sung because Er had lived all his days in 
peace. The poets, however, celebrated and the minstrels sung 
the story of Cier, the son of Gollam, the father of Er. The valor 
with which he resisted the army of Sruamac, how he searched 
for the bodies of his father and brothers among the slain and ners 
_ turned with them triumphant to the tents of Astiereis. 


They sang the sad story how Cier himself stricken by Baal 
perished in the great sea; how the Gaal besought his body from 
the rocks of the deep, begrudging the waters the treasure they 
held. They sang how the fearless warriors braved the anger of 
Baal, and carried the body up to the summit of the rock that juts 
above the mighty waves and chanted the death-cry despite the 
howling winds; how they sang the battle song as is customary for 
the warrior returning triumphant from battle. Their lamentations 
resounded over the hoarse-roaring waters. Who so famous as 
Cier in ancestral Gaalag, who so famous as Er in Erin? 

When the great stone enclosed the door of the tomb, Aod, the 
chief of Ardtan, said: Let this kingdom be called the land of 
Ullad (lamentation) in memory of the first chief of our race in- 
terred here? And I Togher inscribed the words on the roll of 
the Chronicles. Iber, the firstborn son of Er, was elected king 
to rule over Ullad. I Togher approached Iber, the king, and said: 
I have lived to see thy father buried, I have written the annals 
of the times down to this very day, suffer me to retire to my 
abode, for I am no longer equal to the duties of the office of 
Ardollam. The tongue of Iber will not deny the necessity which 
his eyes behold? Iber tenderly embraced Togher and kissed him, 
saying: If Togher hears that the foot of Iber has turned from 











263 


the path of justice will he not according to custom inform him? 
And Togher was silent for his heart was full. And Iber gave or- 
ders that the tent of Togher be pitched near the tents of the 
chieftains. Neact, the son of Thol, was elected Ardollam of 
the kingdom of Ullad. Conmaol, who has arrogated to himself 
the title of Ermion, burns with resentment against the race of . 
Iolar, for the slaughter of his father on Ceiosiol is ever present 
to his eyes and mentioned in his speech. Contention arose and 
war was declared between Filait and Conmaol. For the first time 
since the day of the treaty on Magmortiomna the Da- 
maan crossed the Seanaman. They came at the earnest 
entreaty of Gaalen as auxiliaries. But the troops of Gaalen before 
they had even made a respectable demonstration fled from before 
the face of Conmaol. Then Conmaol, the valiant king, of Deas, 
having routed the combined armies turned his attention to Ultonn- 
mact, and after having overrun it with the sword and fire he 
subjected it to fines and tribute. 


The kingdom of Ullad enjoys peace, for Iber is disposed as 
was his father attending to interests that will promote the wel- 
fare of his people. Highways are constructed throughout the 
land, nine bruiteine are established in the nine provinces of Ullad, 
the youth (t-aos-og) are encouraged to frequent the conferences 
of the ollams. 

Now it so happened that Filiat, king of Gaalen, was weak- 
spirited, he made no effort to bring Conmaol to judgment for the 
death of Balb, the son of Iolar, he permitted him also without 
armed protest to ravage the borders of Gaalen during the twenty- 
seven years he occupied the throne of that kingdom. After the 
twenty-seven years, however, had passed, when Filiat died, and 
Tigernmas, his son was elected to the throne of the kingdom of 
Gaalen, the chieftains came to him to request that he would take 
possession of the provinces of Oir and Ceas which Conmaol had 
seized by violence; they urged him to free his kingdom and re- 
establish its former boundaries. Tigernmas therefore indicted let- 
ters to Conmaol, the king of Deas, saying: It appeareth that 
Conmaol the Ermion, hath no just claims within the territories 
of Oir and Ceas, what of the lands of Ermion and Iber? Aongais 
summoned the chieftains together to get their advice, but they 


264 


would deign no other answer than this to the inguiry of Tigern- 
mas: The soil is the inheritance of the children of the Gaal ac- 
cording to the province of each chieftain, and the portion of each 
individual Gaal by the right of law and the practice of Tanistry. 
The men of Deas do not comprehend the significance of the term: 
The lands of Iber and Ermion. Have not the words their origin 
in the artifice of the cromfir? For this reason Tigernmas sent 
another deputation calling the territory “The lands of Deas and 
Gaalen.” Then the chieftains set out and righted the boundaries, 
and the land enjoyed peace. The kingdom of Ullad is also at 
rest. Iber having reigned twenty-eight years, died and the land 
mourned him, and his son, named Iberic, was elected king, in 
the first year of whose reign Neact died, and Feilmid, the son of 
Stroth, was elected Ardollam. In those days came a ship having 
one bank of oars (leabairaon) manned by Fenicians with letters 
from the king of the Fenicians, saying: Permit my servants to 
examine your lands in search for minerals, precious stones, cop- 
per, or tin? If they abound, you shall have a twentieth part of 
‘what the mines shall produce, besides my servants shall purchase 
all their stores and utensils from you. Let there be a compact 
between us? Tigernmas called an assembly of the chieftains of 
‘Gaalen, and repeated to them the words of the men of Feine, 
but they very quickly made answer: By our opinions, O sire, 
it doth not please us to give such a privilege to the Fenicians, for 
this is always the Fenic manner: A plausible word on the lips, 
but duplicity in the heart. Did not Eterial advise the Gaal to 
shun Cosantiridir? Are not our kindred in Dunmionac? What 
if we invite them to come, they can dwell here among their 
brethren, and examine the earth for those minerals, but harken 
not to the words of Feine. And so it was decided. Now after 
the Feine set sail, they provisioned a ship and sent a deputation 
to their kindred in the land of tin (Dunmionac). But in truth they 
returned as they set out, for the Feine would not suffer them to 
deliver their message, nor to place their foot on shore, nor even 
to enter the harbor. In those days it happened that Ithbaal, the 
Ardcromfear of Tsiar (Tyre), and Scadan (Sidon), was elected 
king of the Feine. His elevation to the kingship took place B. 
C. 914. He had a daughter, the most beautiful woman in the 





265 


world, east or west; she married Aodab, king oí Ceisrael, she 
brought with her into the dominions oí her husband a band of 
the cromfir of Baal, íor it was the cherished ambition of Ithbaal, 
king of the Feine, to spread and make mighty the name of Baal 
among the collective nations (cruinne daoinead). Indeed his 
goodly daughter Ishbaal, seconded his project for she converted 
all Ceisrael to Baal. Likewise in the days of Iberic, Ithbaal sent 
a Leabairaon (one bank oars) ship to Erin, and she took harbor 
in the port of Buidecloc, and the cromfir who were aboard her 
had a statue of Baal in resplendent gold, a statue of Re in shining 
silver, and a statue of Tarsnasc in burnished bronze. The crom- 
fir of Feine related to the cromfir of Erin the command Baal 
gave unto themselves that they should erect a stronghold (Dun) 
and a temple to Baal, and that they should place in it a statue 
of Baal, Re and Tarsnasc so that they would be there always be- 
fore their eyes. Now indeed by the inspiration of the cromfir of 
Feine the Ardcromfear whispered this design to Tigernmas, the 
king, and besought him to assemble the people, and say unto 
them: Thus spoke Baal to Tigernmas, I am far distant’ from 
you, is my abode far from the children of Erin? Come then, 
erect a mighty pillar (ul-tur) and carve upon its column (uatne) 
the semblance of Baal even me, and Re my abode, at night and 
Tarsnasc, and prostrate yourselves, and fall down before me 
_ near my presence and I will hear thy voice, and my servants will 
i whisper my answers to the ear of the public, and whenever vou 
_ shall beseech a favor from Baal, remember his servants, in order 
_ that he will give ear unto you. 

Now Tigernmas unhesitatingly followed the advice imparted 
_ by the Ardcromfear. Then the cromfir instructed the people, say- 
_ ing: It behoveth you to do as Baal, the light, the heat, and the 
_ life of the world commanded Tigernmas, the king, bless you 
- Baal, that Baal may bless Ermion. They erected three great pil- 
_ lars in proximity to the Bruiteine of Gaalen and on top of each 
_ one respectively they placed a golden statue of Baal, a silver statue 


_ of Re, and a bronze statue of Tarsnasc. The cromfir bowed down 





_ before the pillars and Tigernmas, the king, humbled himself in 
_ the sight of the children of the land. Then the multitude mur- 
_mured and demanded vociferously: Indeed (arra) is the glory 


266 k 


of Baal, Re and Tarsnasc imprisoned within a stone like this? 
We will prostrate and bow the head to Baal alone! And they 
had a mind to tear down the idol, Cromcruad, to the ground, 
but they forebore on this occasion. Without doubt the popular 
fury was rising against Tigernmas on account oí the housed god . 
Cromcruad, therewith he placed the blame on the shoulders of 
the cromfirs in presence of the assemblage. Now no sooner did 
it reach the ear of the Ardcromfear that Tigernmas, the king, 
placed the responsibility on the cromfir in the presence of the — 
assembled hosts, than he speedily went to him in private, saying: 
Is it your wish to have the Gaal revolt against Baal and you . 
their Ermion? Spread the word, saying: Bow yourselves down 
in the presence of Cromcruad. The king positively refused to 
accede to the demand, but on the contrary again asseverated in 
the presence of the assembled myriads: That the cromfir were 
responsible for all that had occurred. When lo! the following 
morning Tigernmas, the king, was found stretched dead in his 
tent. Immediately the people began to call the spirits of Erial 
and Eterial and the name of Tigernmas! Therl to appease the 
storm that was rising the Ardcromfear said: That it was Baal 
who smote him because he spoke contemptuously of his servants 
the cromfir. Then the people demanded to inspect the body, but 
in truth they found no mark from Baal upon it. They therefore 
tushed upon the Ardcromfear and murdered him, and slew as 
many of the cromfir as they could lay hands upon. They likewise 
tore down Cromcruad wheresoever it was to be found. - 

The bards chanted the king’s death-cry and the Gaal construct- 
ed his Carn although no cromfir were present. 

So perished Tigernmas, the son of Filiat, king of Gaalen, by 
the craft and treachery of the cromfir after he had reigned twenty- 
seven years. But the valiant deeds of the kingdom of Gaalen and 
the notable events that transpired during his rule are written and 
constitute the Chronicle called the book of Tigernmas.

THE SECOND BOOK, AND SECOND CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF EOCAID, THE SON OF DAIRE, ELEVEN 
i YEARS B. C., 904 to 893. | 


After the murder oí Tigernmas by the hands of the cromfir 
_ Erbot, his son, was a mere stripling, when another semester had 
lapsed, Aongais, the king of Deas, also died, leaving Ardfear, 
his firstborn, a mere youth. Indeed there was not in Deas nor - 
dn Gaalen a single person of the royal race of proper age to 
rule. Therefore Erin requested Iberic to rule as Ermion, but 
he declined the honor. Thus six years passed when Iberic died 
after a reign of thirty-four years. Ullad mourned deeply his loss. 
_ Soberce, his firstborn, the handsomest man in Erin, was elected 
king. Ciernma, his brother, born at the same birth, was his twin 
“mot only in semblance and form but also in his goodness of in- 
ttellect. 
_ At this time Eocaid, the son of Daire, of Ith, the prince of Ib- 
Lugad, usurped the title of Ermion. He spent his time in vain 
frivolities, lowering the standard of manhood, for he prized the 
dye of the cloth more than the character of the man who wore 
it. A feeling of disquietude began tg prevail in Deas and Gaalen, 
‘for a rumor quietly spread, saying: The Danaan are conspiring 
“with the Firgneath and are up to mischief. During the five years 
i which Eocaid was styling himself Ermion, the chieftains of Deas 
cand Gaalen were addressing memorials to Soberce and to Cierma, 
saying: Will not the sons of Er harken to the voice of Erin call- 
3 ing them to guard her from her enemy? Will they not compel 
 Eocaid, the son of Daire, to abdicate the throne he has usurped? 
So Soberce and Ciernma answered them, saying: By Baal, cer- 
tainly we will dethrone Eocaid, the son of Daire, and protect Erin. 
Before centralizing the forces Soberce sent a currier to Eocaid,. 
“saying: O Eocaid, son of Ith, thou wert not elected a king, nor 
i thou the choice of the chieftains. Suppose thou retire to 
thy proper place? But Eocaid delayed to return an answer until 
“‘Soberce and his phalanx were upon him. Then all his so-called 
friends and courtiers fled, leaving him alone in his misfortunes. 





















268 


Aíter two days Eocaid sent a reguest by one who carried him 
food and drink, beseeching Ciernma to come to him. 

Now there was neither promise nor understanding to that 
effect between them, nevertheless because Ciernma did not re- 
spond as quickly as expected, Eocaid, the son of Daire, becoming 
desperate killed himself. 


THIRD CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF SOBERCE, THIRTY-NINE YEARS B. C,, 
893 TO 854. 


At this time Soberce sent curriers through the kingdoms of 
Erin, saying: Let the chieftains assemble without delay on the . 
campus (lios) of Magalman to meet Soberce, king of Ullad. As . 
soon as the hosts assembled they went into session for Soberce . 
declared: That he would take the initiative in no project with- 


out the expressed desire of the chieftains. After the council the . 
chieftains of Gaalen requested Soberce to assume the protec- 


torate of Gaalen, while the chieftains of Deas made the like re- . 
quest of Ciernma. Thus Ciernma marched away with the chief- i 
tains of Deas, but Soberce returned home taking Erbot, the son . 
oí Tigernmas, with him to Ullad. Feilimid lived to see the sons 
of Er ruling the whole of Erin. The intellects of both were rich . 
with wisdom and their hearts were guided by the precepts of . 
Eolus. Now all contentions were banished from the face of the . 
land. No more does rumor creep that the Danaan is preparing . 
war. Feilmid hath lived in peaceful times, but now his last is at . 
hand Just one month after Soberce had returned to Ullad . 
Feilmid died, and Cartac was elected Ardollam. 

Soberce gave the instruction and education of Erbot over 
into the hands of the ollams, commanding that they should point . 
out to him the path of truth and the words of Eolus continually. . 
At this time Soberce founded for himself a stronghold and citadel . 
or castle (gaislan) on the top of the rocky heights that tower 4 
above the waters of the Foist in the province of Larne in the king- . 











dom of Ullad. Ciernma founded a similar one on the headland look- . 


ing seaward in the principality of Ib Lugad. Indeed these were the i 














269 


first walled strongholds which the Gaal íounded in the kingdoms 
oí Erin. No sooner did the chieítains and people become cogni- 
zant of the fact than they made serious objections, murmuring: 
This is a thing our fathers have not done from the beginning, 
what does it mean? When the words of censure came to So- 
berce and Ciernma they said: Why do you fear, O chieftains and 
Gaal, that the children of Er will become’a menace to you. How 
is it possible for them to injure you without injuring themselves 
more dangerously? The gates of Dun-Soberce (Dunseveric) and 
Dun-Ciernma will be open as wide for you both night and day 
as was ever the curtains of our tented pavillions! Nevertheless 
if it be an annoyance to the peace of your minds, say but the 
word and the evil shall be swept from your view without delay. 
When the people heard these words they became pacified, and 
said: Soberce and Ciernma are our pride and strength, may the 
house of the children of Er be perpetual! It was in these days - 
that Erbot, the son of Tigernmas, attained the necessary age to 
rule, and Soberce took him to Gaalen, and there he convened the 
chief assembly of the kingdom and he introduced Erbot to them 
and to the people, saying: When the children of Erin requested 
Soberce to assume the protectorate of Gaalen because none of 
the royal race had attained the necessary age, and the Danaan 
was menacing the land, he acceded to their petition. Gaalen is 
the allotment of the sons of Iolar, Erbot is no longer a youth, 
the ollams have instructed him in the knowledge of truth and 
wisdom, he is acquainted with the manner of just rule and that it 
behooveth him to do so. When he finished his discourse every 
one remained silent, therefore after a short delay he said again: 

If Soberce were one of the chieftains of Gaalen he would say: 
_ What if Erbot, the son of Tigernmas, of the race of Gollam, sit 
_ on the throne of his father in the kingdom of Gaalen? A mighty 
_ cheer arose fron the multitude, saying: May Baal prosper all 
the projects of Soberce, the son of Er! Immediately Murcad, one 
of the chieftains of Gaalen stood and said: Will Erbot the son 
of Tigernmas, of the race of Gollam, sit on the throne of Gaalen? 
All answered unanimously: Yea; certainly, so be it, so be it. Then 
Soberce laid on his shoulders a magnificent robe, wonderful, re- 
splendent with embroidery, in red gold, and he summoned me 


270 


Cartac to him, saying: Behold, Cartac has an offering for thee.. 
I placed in the hands of Erbot the writings of Eolus and Eterial,. 


saying: O son of Iolar, accept from my hands these words of. . 


our ancestors, keep them in view, and thou shalt find in them. 
food for thy intellect as sweet as the living water is to the mouth. 
of the thirsty hunter as he courses the deer on the mountain. 
side. Erbot put the volume under his cloak. They prepared. 


the great tables and they feasted for nine days, there was song: . 


and minstrelsy and dancing, and historic tales relating to the 
times of Gaalag and Iber. After the festivities were over, when. 
Soberce was returning to Ullad Erbot and all the chieftains of 
Gaalen accompanied him to the river Ramar which flows be-- 
tween the kingdoms of Ullad and Gaalen. 


From the river Ramar we marched by the new highway which: 
Soberce. made from that river to the portals of Dun-Soberce- 
in the province of Larne. As soon as he arrived home he sent 
an embassy to Ciernma, saying: Oh Ciernma Airt (Ardfear), the 
son of Aongais is-of age, and the life of Soberce, thy brother, is- 


lonely without my heart’s love, O brother! For this reason: i 


Ciernma convened the chieftains of Deas, and: they elected Ard- 
fear, the son oí Aongais, king. And Ciernma set out for Ullad, 
A mighty host accompanied him to the boundaries of Deas, and’ 
his progress through Gaalen was like a trimuphal march of a 
king through his dominions. As he approached the boundaries- 
of the kingdom of Ullad, he dismounted from his charger, and 
bowing his head, he purified himself by swimming the river Ramar,. 
and as soon as his foot touched the soil of Ullad, he bent down. 
and kissed it. Soberce also came a two days’ march to meet 
Ciernma, and they met in Gleannbearna, and as soon as they 
‘saw each other in the distance, they sprung from their chargers. 
and running quickly they embraced most tenderly. 

And as a lasting memorial they erected a monolith on the- 
spot of the meeting, with the name of Soberce carved on one side- 
and that of Ciernma on the other. But in Dunsoberce there were 
festivities for a whole month even the month Cruinnugad (that is- 
September). All were invited, and tents were pitched in the cir- 
cumjacent plain, there was song and the sweet voiced harp was. 
heard, and the story of ancient times; the days passed joyfully,.

the stag-hunt by day, the dance by night. 

The day prior to the breaking up of the festivities, a rostrum 
was erected in the midst of the vast assemblage, and Leath stood 
upon it; Leath of the clear and resonant voice, then I gave into 
his hands the writings of Eolus,.and the book of Chronicles writ- 
ten up to the moment in which Leath stood in their presence. 
Leath read them publicly, when the multitude heard they re- 
joiced, and wondered, and at the conclusion the chieftains, ollams, 
the cromfir, the minstrels, poets, the Gaal, the women and maidens, 
lifted their hands toward heaven, invoked Baal to prosper the 
works of Soberce, and Ciernma, the glory of the Gaal, the sword 
and shield of Ullad. Peace reigneth everywhere, the Danaan 
earnestly seeking the friendship of Ullad, and the Firgneath dwell- 
ing in contentment without anxiety. The kings Ardfear and 
Erbot paid a visit of courtesy to Dunsoberce, Erbot bends to 
the influence of the cromfir, forgetting the lessons of Eolus, and 
the teachings of the ollams. It chanced on a certain day that 


_ Soberce spoke to Erbot about the precepts of Eolus, but he did 
_ not understand him and knew not of the subject. When So- 


berce questioned him concerning the writings which Cartac gave 


to him in Gaalen? Erbot replied: The Ardcromfear took them 
' from my tent, saying: This is the work of the ollams who always 
_ speak disrespectfully of Baal and his servants. Ardfear prefers 


music and frolic, dance and poetry to science. In the twenty-first 


_ year of the reign of Soberce Cartac died, and Leath was. chosen 
Ardollam. Highways are constructed through the land, the Gaal 
multiply, flocks and herds cover the pasture lands, great num- 
_ bers of the youth flock to hear the ollams, there is esteem for 
learning and science, five additional Bruiteine (fire-hills) have been 
established in Ullad, day by day the same peaceful routine fol- 
lows, the kingdom of Ullad is as content as the infant that sleeps 
on its mother’s bosom. In the thirty-second year of the reign 
_of Soberce, Leath died, and Nid was chosen Ardollam. In the 
_ thirty-seventh year of the reign of Soberce, Erbot king of Gaalen 
_ expired, and Smiorgaal, his son was elected to reign in his 
_ place; and during the same month Ardfear, the son of Aongais, 
_ king of Deas, died, and for the lapse of eight months the chief 
_assembly of the kingdom did not gather on the Bruiteine, because 


272 


Eocaid, the son of Ardfear, would not have attained the necessary 
age until that time. Then the chieftains convened and elected 
Eocaid, king over Deas. After Soberce had reigned forty-two 


' years he fell sick and died, and his Carn was built by his own 


command, close by the Bruiteine of Ullad, for he said: If it should 
chance at any time that both king and people become lawless, per- 
haps it will bring them to a better sense of their duty when they 
behold my Carn before them? On the twelfth day after the 


demise of Soberce, Ciernma expired, alas, he could not survive . 


the beloved brother of his heart! 

The Carn of Ciernma was constructed nigh the ‘Cass of So- 
berce just as though he was a king of Ullad. 

And Ullad mourneth deeply after Soberce and Ciernma! 


THE FOURTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF OILLIOL, SON OF SOBERCE, TWENTY- . 


FOUR YEARS B. C., 854 TO 830. 


When the chieftains assembled on the Bruiteine of Ullad, they . 


elected Oilliol, son of Soberce, king. In those days, Eocaid, king 


of Deas, had recourse to high-handed violence, and menaced the . 
Danaan with dire penalties. With that he sent his heralds de- . 


manding tribute (cios). An obligation not owing to him, but he 


said: If it be not paid promptly, let the heralds declare in the . 
hearing of Seorl, the king of that land: That the warriors of . 
Deas will make a descent on his country, Ultonnmact. No. 


sooner had Seorl heard this than he sent word to Oilliol of the 


attitude of Eocaid, king of Deas. He also made inquiry: The © 


Danaan has heard that when the pillar was erected as a memorial 


between our fathers and the race of Iber, that your fathers wrote . 
in fine letters and rolled it into a volume, and that these writings . 
show at the present time the cause of erecting that pillar? More- . 
over that it is not lawful for the race of Er to cross the Seana- © 
man to disturb Ultonnmact? That that volume of writing is still . 
preserved in the royal palace of Ullad? Now cometh Eocaid, king 4 
of Deas, and self-styled Ermion, threatening an irruption across . 
-the Seanaman contrary to the wishes of the Danaan to collect . 


CC min LO Sa i ac see 


























273 


- fines and tribute. Hence Seorl and the Danaan demand if the 
- treaty be as Seorl hath said, will Oilliol put a stop to the violence 
of Eocaid? This was Oilliol’s reply: Certainly the words, the 
_ very text of the treaty is still preserved in the tents of the ollams, 
_ you shall hear them. And Nid, even I, opened the book of Chron- 
icles, and read the very words, said by Seorl through the mouth 
- of his deputation. Then Oilliol sought the cause of Eocaid’s 
wrath? The delegation answered: From the king to the peasant 
the Danaan are innocent. Therefore Oilliol instructed the depu- 
tation: Say to Seorl: Oilliol will serve notice on Eocaid that 
4 he cease to persecute the Danaan, if after the caveat he continues 
his violence Oilliol will formulate an ultimatum. So the delega- 
tion returned home. And Oilliol sent letters to Eocaid, saying: 
_ Word has come to the ear of Oilliol from king Seorl charging: 
_ That Eocaid threatens to cross the Seanaman to drive off a 
spoil, and to lay tribute. If the charge be true Oilliol would ask: 
_ Why tribute to Eocaid? Or why indeed doth Eocaid style him- 
_ self Ermion? Oilliol without any equivocation will maintain the 
_ oath his father gave on the day of Magmortiomna, even against a 
_ son of Iber—therefore . And Eocaid kept the peace. Oilliol 
_ walks in the footsteps of his father; every year he makes the 
circuit of Ullad dwelling in the tents of the chieftains in turn, 
_ observing and examining the modes and methods of the children 
_ of the soil, on the other hand the gates of Dunsoberce were always 
open to the chieftains and Gaal. 





i In the twenty-second year of the reign of Oilliol, it came to 

pass that Smiorgaal visited the tents of Iber, where half of Erin 
_ was gathered for the royal hunt. After the hunters had assembled 
_ there was a season of banqueting, with music and drinking, 
. poetry and dancing; one morning after Smiorgaal had been over- 
_ heated with drink and the dance, he went for a swim in the 
- limpid waters of the Sior, after his plunge it was not long until 
his skin became dry, and his body like a blazing fire with fever, 
notwithstanding he rode to the hunt all that day, he strove 
against the plague until he could no longer stand on ‘his feet; he 
took to his bed and was delirious by the intensity of his illness. ' 
At the close of the hunt the company began to disperse, and 
_ Eocaid became anxious about Smiorgaal’s condition for he heard

he was in the throes of death. Eocaid went to Smiorgaal’s pa- i 
villions to comfort him, but in spite of all remedies, on the fifth . 
day Smiorgaal expired. Forthwith Eocaid contracted the con- . 
tagion. It seized his body in every limb, and on the fifth day . 
of his illness he also succumbed. At that period multitudes of the . 
people of Deas fell victims to the dire plague. i 

Magfeib, the son of Eocaid, was elected king in Deas, and 7 
Fiaca, the son of Erbot, was elected to the throne of Gaalen. : 

After a reign of twenty-four years in justice and truth in the . 
kingdom of Ullad, Oilliol ceased to be! : | 


THE FIFTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF DAIER, SON OF OILLIOL, SEVENTEEN i 
YEARS B. C., 830 TO 813. 


Daier was not desirous to be elected to succeed his father, . 
for he said: My physique is not strong, what if war were waged . 
against Ullad? But the chieftains would make no other choice . 
from among the sons of Oilliol. So while Daier sat with the . 
ollams and the bards, Eocaid, his brother, bore the burdens of . 
government. In the first year of Daier’s reign Nid died and Grad . 
was chosen Ardollam. Now in the sixth year of the reign of . 
Daier it happened that Cuil, the king of the Danaan, incited the . 
Firgneath to conspire, saying: These foreigners hate us, they . 
are weak, they are waging civil-war in the kingdoms of Deas and . 
Gaalen? If we combine our forces we will be victorious, your . 
‘portion will be the fourth part of Gaalen. 

So the Firgneath issued from the waters which lave their reser- . 
vation, and marched in conjunction with the Danaan. And an im- . 
posing force they indeed presented. They marched upon the king- . 
dom of Gaalen. No sooner did tidings of the invasion reach Fiaca, . 
and that the combined armies of the Danaan and Firgneath were al- . 
ready on his territory than he summoned his chieftains, and Morad 
stood and said: What if we send our swiftest curriers to Daier that . 
he may turn back those impending waves that are about to break | 


upon us?

Scarcely was the sentiment uttered when Colgar arose, saying: 
Will the hand be on the scratch-pen (biorgraf) or on the sword, 
who will write the tale? While the scribe is petitioning help what 
will betome of our possessions and flocks? Where is the ancient 
glory of the Gaal? As answer all shouted: To battle! Therefore 
the chieftains marshalled their comlanns, and marched to meet the 
enemy on the plains of Magduor. The beginning of the battle in- 
deed was adverse to the arms of Gaalen for the fight was desperate, © 
and the slaughter great, but no warrior turned back, every wound 
was worthy fame, notwithstanding the confederated armies of the 
Danaan and Firgneath had made an impression on the land. They 
commenced to push to the eastward, so Fiaca, the king, commanded’ 
Colgar to take a half legion of picked men, and go to the rear of the 
enemy, and as soon as you shall see the battle fairly begun, make 
an attack with great shouts and a spear-charge (lannfrith). Colgar 
fulfilled the commission with zeal. So.when Fiaca commenced the 
_ engagement in front, Colgar pitched his legion upon them from the- 
_ rear. When the Firgneath felt the desperate shock of the onslaught, 

they turned and fled in whatever direction they hoped for a refuge, 
but the Danaan stood that day like valiant men, the bravest of Ult- 
 onn fell in very great numbers that day, for they said: If we fail to 
hold the land of our fathers we are not worthy the breath of life! 
That day the dead and wounded of the Gaal numbered one thousand 
five hundred, but there fell of the confederated forces of the Danaan 
and Firgneath nine thousand. Though the number of the slain was- 
_ not extraordinary, yet the ferocity with which the battle was con— 
_ ducted was astounding. The remnants of both armies returned to» 
_ their own countries with their hatred of each other intensified. 


i When the news of the battle of Magduor came to Daier, anxiety 
_ seized his mind for he said to himself: If Iber and Fiaca make a: 
_ partition of Ultonnmact between them the balance of power will be- 
_ destroyed and the case of Ullad will be worse than ever? Hence- 
_ Daier sent Eocaid, his brother, to Cuil, king of the Danaan, in order 
_ that he might interrogate the true motive of the Danaan’s expedition 
_ into Gaalen. | 

And if he should judge that the Danaan were justified, he should 
_ console them. Nor was it long until Eocaid ascertained that Fiaca 
_ and Magfeib had afflicted the kingdom of Ultonnmact now those 


276 


many days, and moreover that the messengers whom Cuil had sent 


with news to Dunsoberce were captured on the journey, and com-. 


pelled to swear by the earth, and the waves of the sea that they would 
return and say to Cuil: The king of Ullad would not permit us 
even to speak to him. For this reason Eocaid said to Cuil: Harken, 
O Cuil, to the word of Daier from the mouth of Eocaid, his brother: 
Observe strictly the treaty of Magmortiomna, and if the children of 
Iber fail to guard it, send word by a trusty tongue to the Chieftain 
of Iargaal, thence it will come with certainty to Daier, and without 
delay the comlanns of Ullad will come to the assistance and rescue 
of the Danaan. When he had completed his commission Eocaid re- 
turned to Dunsoberce. There was undoubtedly tranquility in the 
kingdom of Ullad all the days of the reign of Daier, after he had 
ruled seventeen years he fell sick and expired. 


THE SIXTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF EOCAID, SIXTEEN YEARS, B. C. 813 TO 
i | 797. | 


Eocaid, the son of Oilliol, and brother of Daier, was elected king - 


over Ullad. At this period there was friendship existing between 
the sons of Iber and the sons of Iolar; for the affection which Eocaid 
had displayed toward Smergaal, drew their hearts closely together. 
In the fifth year of the rule of Eocaid in Ullad, King Fiaca sent his 
son Fionn with a message to Magfeib, to say to him: So long: as 
this friendship exists between Ullad and the Danaan so that they are 
at its beck and call, moreover the Firgneath is with them, there can 
certainly be but anxiety and danger impending for the sons of Iber 
and Iolar. What if we unite our forces against Ultonnmact? 

Now it happened that Magfeib was not overprudent, and Fionn 
was but a stripling, and did not discern that the words were for 
Magfeib privately. Magfeib said to Fionn I will send back an an- 
swer in due time. For this reason he assembled the chieftains, and 
Daier, the prince of Ib Lugad, was present, and Magfeib related to 
them the words of Fionn’s message. But the chieftains would not 
approve it. After a short time Magfeib died and Eocaid, his son, 
was elected to succeed him. Then Fiaca made a journey to Eocaid

for the purpose of inciting him to the invasion of Ultonnmact. But 
the chieftains of Deas were unanimous against the enterprise. Al- 
though his mission failed his expectations, notwithstanding fired by 
anger he promised to himself that he would at least ravage the 
reservation of the Firgneath, for he hated and contemned them. He 
levied a half legion (1500), sufficient, as he thought, and marched 
upon Mageintir. Even though the Firgneath were off guard, yet 
with the alarm multitudes closed in on Fiaca and his half legion, 
and the warriors of Gaalen were wounded full sore, and Fiaca, the 
king, slain. 

They dragged the body of Fiaca, befouled with wounds and 
blood, to the boundary of their reservation and there cast the corpse 
into the waters of the Aron. Such was the fall and unhallowed end 
of Fiaca, the king. Fionn, the son of Fiaca, was elected to rule over 
Gaalen. In the seventh year of the reign of Eocaid Grad expired, 
and Diernma was taken as Ardollam. LEocaid is like his father, he 
esteems justice. Ullad is in profound peace and all Erionn is tran- 
‘quil. When he had reigned sixteen years he died and was uni- 
versally mourned throughout the kingdom. 


THE SEVENTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF EOLUS TWENTY-NINE YEARS, 797 TO 
763. 


Eolus now occupies the throne of his father. None of the race 
Was more prudent than he. He makes an orderly progress through 
Ullad each year. He visits the tents of the ollams, hearing and ex- 
- amining, and questioning the scientific lessons always. In the sev- 
_ enth year of his reign he made a journey to the kingdom of Deas, 
and I Diernma accompanied him. He desired to pay a visit to 
Eocaid, the king of that land, whose fame is truly praiseworthy, for 
he loves justice and truth more than any of his line since the Gaal 
first came to Errion. And Eolus and Eocaid made a mutual pledge 
of friendship, which they kept all the days of their lives. When 
Eolus was returning through the kingdom of Gaalen he dwelt for a 
time in the tents of Fionn, but it was futile to request him to travel 
_ the path of wisdom—for he was completely under the influence of 





218 


the Cromfir. Eolus was full of joy when he was home again in 
Dunsoberce. | 


In the ninth year of his reign he sent out curriers through all . 


the land of Ullad, saying: Assemble on the Bruiteine around Dun- 
soberce what time Baal shall cross the threshold of his house Sgith 
(June). On the appointed day a great multitude assembled on the 
Bruiteine, and Eolus stood in their midst, and said: . Eolus aspires 
to increase the number of the ollams and to found three royal uni- 
versities (mur-n-ollam) in the most desirable localities, so that our 
supervision may be properly bestowed on both youths and ollams. 
Therefore what if we erect a university on Druimcrith, ‘another on 
Druimmor and the third here in Dunsoberce ? And that there be a 
faculty of nine ollams over each chief-school (rigscoil) ; ? 


Since the words were most pleasing to the assemblage, it was so 
carried out. After Eolus had reigned ten years tidings were borne 
to Dunsoberce: That Eocaid Mumo, king of Deas, had expired. 
For as he was leaping his charger on the banks of the river Sior, he 
fell and was drowned in the rapid current. They erected on the 
yonder side of the river a Carn (tumulus), great and wonderful, 
and called it Carn Mumain. To honor the king. In the fourteenth 
ryear of the reign of Eolus, Fionn, the king of Gaalen, died. And 
_Aongais, the son of Fiaca, was elected king. And Glas, the son of 
“Noid, the son of Eocaid-Faobar-Glas, was elected king in Deas, now 
~surnamed Mumain (Munster). Now Aongais cherished an im- 

~placdble hatred against the Danaan and Firgneath. For he remem- 

Ybered ‘his father’s murder, and the savage manner in which they 
Yhad passed the corpse under the passion of dishonor; moreover, he 
understood that the Danaan were accomplices, an imputation in- 
deed false. For this reason faisean sought íor some pretext to in- 
vade and destroy them. 

In those days Forb was king in Ultonnmact, and Aongais sent 
‘quaestors (ciosfir) to levy and collect tribute, but Forb demanded: 
‘What tribute? But he answered eric for the blood of my father. 
Indeed the Danaan was surprised to hear such words, for he did 


mot understand the motive of Aongais. Without delay the comlanns . 
-of Gaalen made a descent on Ultonnmact in an unguarded moment . 


of the Danaan’s. For this reason the Danaan fled westward from 


‘the face of Aongais, not having time to send word to Iargaal. But ; i

279 


_ the Gaal pursued them with determination, the quicker they followed, 
_ the quicker the Danaan fled from before their face, as if in great 
_ trepidation, but no sooner were the Gaal tangled up in the narrow 
_ passes and defiles of the mountains, a most untoward spot for the 
_ evolutions and charges of the comlanns, than the Danaan wheeled 
_ suddenly and began a fierce attack. Great numbers of the Gaal fell 
- and among them Mal, the bravest chieftain of Gaalen. Now Aon- 
 gais, the king, was not at the head nor present with his comlanns; 
he still slept in his pavillion with his beauteous wife Bana; a mes- 
_ senger rushed, covered with dust and blood, aud hurled his shield 
_ through the door of the royal pavillion, saying: Pity thy sleep, 
_ Oh Aongais, and thy Gaals being slaughtered! 

As he finished the words he fell back and died, but Aongais 
_ awoke and shuddered with horror, for he supposed it was still night. 
_ On beholding the morning light he was satisfied, saying: Never did 
_ our fathers draw the sword until ‘Baal’s light shone on the earth. 
_ Aongais went with celerity to the head of his comlanns, and though 
_ the Danaan fought with desperate valor they could not stand before 
_.Aongais, the triumphant. The passes and narrow valleys were 
_ choked with the bodies of the slain. When the trumpet called the 
_ comlanns to him, Aongais said: Henceforth let this hill be called 
_ “Cealg” on account of the deceit and treachery of the Danaan. Then 
he devastated Ultonnmact, putting every living thing he met to the 
_ sword, imposing fines and tributes on the country to avenge the 
_ death of his father. For, without doubt, he believed that the Danaan 
_ conspired with and assisted the Firgneath, which in fact was false. 
q He even doubled the tribute, calling himself Ermion. After these 
_ achievements he turned his attention to Maggeintir, resolved to ex- 
_ terminate the Firgneath from the face of the earth. And when he 
was approaching the boundaries of their reservation, lo! the com- 
- lanns of Ullad hove in sight on the march to Ultonnmact, for news 


_ came from mouth to ear of the havoc Aongais was spreading in that 


land; for this reason Eolus dispatched an army under command of 
a his three brothers, Oilliol, Ruidruide and Ros, to reiníorce the 
. Danaan. Oilliol commanded the comlanns while Ruidruide and 
_ Ros went in advance to Aongais, as they approached the army of 
4 Gaalen they dismounted, and having their swords on the left side 
_ and their shields. on their shoulders, and their cloaks belted they 





280 


proceeded on foot to the presence of Aongais, and Ros, lifting up | 
his voice, spoke publicly: O high prince, we came hither at the . 
command of Eolus, the king of Ullad, to say to Aongais: That the i 
Firgneath against whom thou dost unsheath the sword and direct . 
the comlanns, are in the charge, and under the protection of Ullad. . 
The sons of Er swore to protect them and there is a covenant be- . 
tween us. There is no remedy for what has transpired. In case i 
the Firgneath were with the Danaan why did you not pursue them . 
in Ultonnmact? The armed warrior should be prepared to abide . 
by the issue of battle and accept victory, or defeat, which is ven- . 
geance. But why do you wish to destroy the innocent, who have . 
remained at home in peaceful pursuits? Is the mind of Aongais. ! 
implacable against the race Firgneath? Is it Aongais’ desire that . 
future generations shall say: Lo! the Gaal Scioth Iber turned their . 
backs to the warriors who were armed and on the field of battle to . 
wreak vengeance on villagers, women and children, and the com- . 
lanns of the Gaal were listening, and the words seemed just in their j 
eyes. For this reason Aongais took counsel and returned to Gaalen. . 
Without delay Eolus sent messengers to Don, the chieftain of Iar- . 
gaal, that. he should seek the friendship and acquaintance of Forb, . 
the king of Ultonnmact, and: the Danaan conceived a lasting love . 
for Ullad and the race of Er from that time forward. Tranquility . 
rests on the land, for Glas is like his father. It was his desire to 
ground the youth of the kingdom in knowledge, but they would . 
not hear him. The tastes of the children of Mumain trend to fun, i 
music and the stories oí the bards. Glas kept the kingdom in peace . 
the nine years he ruled. After the demise of Glas, Eunda was elected . 
king. At this same time Diernma, the Ardollam of Ullad, expired, . 
and Dub was elected to succeed him as Ardollam. Peace and con- . 
tentment rests over Errion, because Eunda, yea even Aongais hark- 
ens to the counsel of Eolus, he walks in the path of truth without . 
declining to the right or left from it, as was the custom of the 
fathers. The four additional Bruiteine are ready, and the nine . 
Raths are constructed on the main highways which run through . 
the length of Ullad. In those Raths the wanderer, the alien and . 
the tribeless one find meat, and drink and lodgement at night. On . 
the pinnacle of the Rath there burns constantly by night a flaming . 
fire to direct the traveller through’ the darkness. In the twenty- . 














281 


eighth year of the reign of Eolus, Aongais, the king of Gaalen, died 
and Maine was elected to succeed him. What time Eolus had com- 
pleted the twenty-ninth year of his reign, he felt that end of life was 
at hand. 

For this reason he commanded that his tent be pitched between 
the Bruiteine of Ullad and Dunsoberce. As it was announced to him 
that his pavillion was ready, he said: Bear my weight hence and 
lay me in my tent, that I may die according to the custom of my 
fathers from the beginning. And it was so. As he was placed 
within his couch a desire to sleep came upon him, and he slept, and 
his spirits revived, and he called me Dub to him, saying: Bring 
hither my sons, that I may speak to them before I die. So the 
youths stood in the presence of their father, and I Dub near by, 
and half rising on his couch Eolus said: My sons I have a treasure 
which descended to me from my father, Eocaid, which has come 
_ from father to son for generations; whether it has depreciated in 
__ my care or not will soon be judged, although the truth usually is not 
spoken until we sleep in the carn. The youths were questioning each 
other with wondering eyes, and he continued: You wonder about 
this treasure which [I mention? Perhaps you imagine count- 
less flocks of sheep or herds of cattle, or numberless studs of war 
horses or kennels of wolf-dogs? or that I have great stores of gems 
and costly wares treasured away in my houses? or that I have a 
wealth of minerals, from the bosom of the earth, or armories filled 
with military implements and shining mail, or silver or gold? No. 
I have no more of these things than my father possessed, but I leave 
unto you a treasure of Fame and an untarnished name, my sons, an 
heirloom more precious than an inheritance of silver and gold, a 
thing of which you and your race hereafter will be proud. At all 
times be careful of envy, for it devours the heart and crooks the 
mental vision of all men. We have the words of our forefathers, 
cling to them as your guide. Return now to Dunsoberce and remain 
there until you hear of me. But they sought permission to pitch 
their tents nigh to him. And Eolus began to weep and he shed tears, 
for his heart was full. He said to them: Remain that I may see 
you as long as the sight is in my eyes. Now, rumor circulated that 
Eolus lay in his tent in the throes of death; on this account the 
chieftains and hosts of the Gaal came to the vicinity. When he 


282 


heard the murmuring of their voices he asked what is that sound? 
Ros answered: It is the children of the soil who have come to see .. 
if they may be of use to you, father. And Eolus replied: Itiscon- . 


soling, for it is a sign that I have found favor in their sight. Lo! I : 


am rewarded. Then he bade Ros: Go out to the tents of the chief- 
| tains and ollams and prepare also a bounteous banquet for the Gaal, 
the women and children, until all shall have partaken in plenty. And 
so it was done. Eolus watched all that night, and about noon the 
next day he expired. As soon as it was announced that he had de- 
parted, weeping and great lamentation arose. The curtains of the 
pavillion were drawn back, so that the people could see the dead 
face of their king. They lifted up their hands toward heaven, im- 
ploring Baal that he would receive the spirit of Eolus to himself, 
and that he would give him power over the evil spirits of the air. 
But the ollams said: O children of Ullad, draw into yourselves the . 
spirit of Eolus. When his carn was constructed I Dub chanted the . 
death-cry, and the Gaal accompanied me. i 


- THE EIGHTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 
THE REIGN OF OILLIOL, SEVEN YEARS, B. C. 768 TO 761. 


In those days. the chieftains assembled on the Bruiteine, and 
elected Oilliol, the first born of Eolus, king. After his coronation 
the first regal act Oilliol did was to indict letters to Maine, the king 
of Gaalen, for the purpose that he free Ultonnmact from fines and 
tribute, for Aongais had placed the land under a burdensome eric. 
This he said to Maine: © : 

Scrutinize the writings of Eclus, our great forefather, and the 
volume which the priests pilfered in the days of Erbot, the king, 
and you will see that there is no word at all in them about tribute 
when the treaty was made on Magmortiomna.. Moreover, is it be- 
fitting that the Gaal Scioth Iber should perpetrate an evil against 
the Danaan, which they themselves would not tolerate from Srua- 
mac? Was it not for that very cause we migrated from Gaalag? 
Maine himself was satisfied to perform this act of justice, but in- 
deed the cromfir dissuaded him, saying: This is a trick and a 
scheme of the ollams, who wish to strengthen the Danaan so that 








283 


_ they will be effective auxilliaries to the sons of Er in winning the 
_ sovereignty of Erin? Hence Maine replied to Oilliol in the words 
of the Cromfir ; they were vain and empty words. | 

Maine followed the counsel of the Cromfir in all things, whether 
great or trifling. But Eunda, the king of Mumain, occupied his 
days in searching and assaying minerals in mines among the moun- 
tains looking out upon the great sea, Tranquility abides in Erin. 
_ Now, Oilliol, the king of Ullad, loved the exercise of the chase, in 


_ the seventh year of his reign he went on a hunting expedition to 





- Glen Corra in the chieftaincy of Ardtan. It happened that Solar, 
- one of the Gaal, shot a stone from his crantubal (sling) at a wolf, 
_ but going wide of the mark, the missile struck Oilliol on the temple, 
_ and he fell dead on the spot. Where he fell there they made his 
_ Carn. | 


THE NINTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 
_ THE REIGN OF ROS, SEVEN YEARS, B. C. 761 TO 754. 


Ros, the son of Eolus, was elected king over Ullad to succeed 
Oilliol. In the second year of his reign, Dub died, and Trien was 
_ chosen Ardollam. In the third year of the reign of Ros Eunda, the 
_ king of Mumain, expired, and Fearard, his son, was elected his suc- 
cessor. And in the fifth year of the reign of Ros Maine died, and 
Roiteasac, his brother, was elected king over Gaalen. When Ros 
_ had reigned seven years he fell ill and died, and the minstrels and the 
i Ea chanted his death-cry.: 


THE TENTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


THE REIGN OF ARDFEAR, THE SON OF EOLUS, 
EIGHTEEN YEARS, B. C. 754 TO 736. 


After the demise of Ros, Ardfear, the youngest son of Eolus, 
_ was elected king over Ullad. He passed the greater part of his 
_ time in Dunsoberce listening to the music of the minstrels, leaving 
_ the kingdom of Ullad, excepting Dunsoberce,; in charge of Cier, a 


284 


prince of the line. According to custom, Cier assembles the hunts- . 
men. Thus passed the days of Ardfear for thirteen years until the q 
death of Cier. From that day Ardfear did not lift up his head for i 
the five years he lived. After occupying the throne of Ullad eighteen . 
years he expired. The chieftains and the Gaal constructed his Carn, 
but the minstrels and a chanted his death- -cry. 


THE ELEVENTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 
THE REIGN OF SEADNA, TEN YEARS, B. C. 736 TO 726. . 


Seadna, the son of Ardfear, was elected king to succeed his father . 
on the throne of Ullad. In the first year of his reign Trein died, and . 
Murdac was chosen Ardollam. Before the end of the year Roiteasac . 
died, and Don, his son, was elected king over Gaalen. Now, in the . 
third year of the reign Seadna mounted heralds went out through . 
all the land of Ullad summoning the chieftains, one ollam from . 
each of the nine in the three universities of the kingdom, the tri- — 
bunes of the people and the Gaal, to the Bruiteine of Ullad, to meet. . 
Seadna, the king, when Baal should be in his house Sgith (mid- . 
summer month). On the appointed day a great host was on hand, . 
and Seadna stood in their midst, saying: It is the wish-and ambi- . 
tion of Seadna to see the brave men of Ullad gathered thus around . 
him so that he may make their acquaintance, and that they too may . 
know each other, that they may harken to the words of Eolus, that . 
they may listen to the history of their race from the beginning, that . 
they become versed in the heroic deeds of olden times, and since we . 
are so fortunate as to be assembled here, what if Murdac, the Ardol- . 
lam, read them to us? Accordingly, I Murdac stood near the dais of . 
the king and read the volume from beginning to end. The multi- i 
tude manifested great pleasure, for they had not been frequently i 
read since the days of Eolus. After that the banqueting boards were i 
spread and feasting for three days ensued amidst much joy and con- . 
tentment. i i 

Seadna treats the ollams in a princely manner, paying visits to . 
their tents and listening and scrutinizing the reading of wisdom. He . 
also esteems music and poetry, and the stories of ancient times. . 
He was a matchless champion in the deeds of arms, his equal was- . 








255 


. not in all Ullad in the hunt, and in feats of horsemanship. When 
_ Seadna had reigned ten years he proceeded to Lough Cuan and he 
_ Sailed on the water of the Foist and the great sea, and Fiaca, his 
son, and Eocaid, the son of Doil, the chieftain of Maginse, accom- 
panied the king. As they steered eastward the sea began to fume, 
_ and roughened into a tempest, and the ship was in distress and began 
to fill with the combings of the mighty waves, and it was wrecked 
' and all that were with the king were drowned except Fiaca and 
_ Gart, the son of Doil, and Lortan, a Gaal, one of the ship’s crew. 
So perished Seadna, the son of Ardfear, after he had reigned ten 
_ years. 


THE TWELFTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


_ THE REIGN OF SEADNA, THE SON OF RUIDRUIDE, THE 
SON OF EOLUS, FOURTEEN YEARS, B. C. 726 TO 712. 


_. When the chieftains assembied to choose a king for Ullad, 
_ Seadna, the son of Ruidruide, was elected for Fiaca, the first-born 
_ of Seadna, the king, protested against being king. Seadna rules the 
land in justice and truth. 

_ In the second year of the reign of Seadna Ardfear, the king of 
_ Mumain, died, and Ceas, his son, was elected king over Mumain. | 
_ He reigned six years and died. And Marcad, the brother of Ard- 
_ fear, was elected to succeed to the throne of Mumain. When Seadna 
_ had completed the fourteenth year of his reign he expired. 


THE THIRTEENTH CHAPTER, SECOND BOOK. 


' THE REIGN OF FIACA, THE SON OF SEADNA, NINE 
i YEARS, B. C. 712 TO 703. 


Now, after the demise of Seadna, the chieftains were assembled _ 
on the Bruiteine to elect a king. They said as with one voice: Let 
_ Fiaca, the son of Seadna, occupy the throne of his father. 
But Fiaca besought them most earnestly to be allowed to remain 

in his own tent, for it was not the disposition of his will nor of his 





286 


mind to be a ruler. But this is what the chieftains and the Gaal i 
answered him: Fiaca shall be king over the land. And with much i 
reluctance he listened to them. i 


Fiaca dwelt in Dunsoberce melancholy after his father. Often 
he said to me: O Muredac, I repent -having consented to occupy . 
the throne of my father; I strive in truth to do justly, for I know . 
the love and affection the Gaal bear me, but I have not the tastes . 
and kingly qualities. Hence, Eocaid, his brother, sat in his place on . 
the Bruiteine and in Dunsoberce. According to established practice . 
Eocaid assembles the chieftains, the ollams, and the tribunes of the . 
people (Gaal) each year on the Bruiteine of Ullad. The words of . 
Eolus, and the story of the book of chronicles, are read in the hear- . 
ing of the children of the soil. Then follow festivities, with music, . 
poetry, the dance, and the tales of ancient times. But Fiaca does . 
not be present. Alas! to the eye of Fiaca always the corpse of his . 
father lying beneath the waves is present. Day and night he passes - 
in loneliness. a 

In the third year of the reign of Fiaca, Marcad, the king of Mu- . 
main, died and Noid, his son, was elected to succeed him as the . 
ruler of that kingdom. Notwithstanding that Fiaca mourns con- . 
tinually he instructed Eocaid, his brother, and Eocaid, his.son, to 
keep up the spirits of the youth of Ullad. i 

When Fiaca had ruled nine years, and his son Eocaid close on . 
the necessary age, he called unto him Neartan, the son of Beirt, íor . 
Marcad, the Ardollam, was ill; then Fiaca instructed his son Eocaid . 
as sagely as ever did the wisest member of the race. Fiaca sent . 
Eocaid, his son, and Neartan, his tutor, on a message to the Uni- . 
versity of Druimcrith to the ollams of that institution, and that they : 
should spend seven days there with them. No sooner had they gone . 
than Fiaca shut himself up in a private chamber, and would not eat . 
or drink or taste food until he died. When the rumor of his death i 
spread, the children of the land came about. Dunsoberce, and fleet . 
curriers were dispatched to Druimcrith for the purpose of announc- 
ing to Eocaid the sad occurrence, and Eocaid returned with great . 
speed. After the days of the mourning they carried the remains to . 
the land of Ardtan, as Fiaca had commanded, and there, wrapped . 
in his father’s military cloak, they buried him and constructed his 7 
Carn looking out over the world of waters. -

! I Murdac chanted the death-cry and was accompanied by the 

bards, the matrons and maidens, as well as the voices of a thousand 
harps. 

Furthermore, the poets told the story of the drowning of Seadna 
_ and of the melancholy and grief that possessed Fiaca for the loss of 

his father. 

; Indeed, are not these compositions among the writings of the 

_ bards in the place of books, i. e., library (leabarlan). 

q The children of the land did not know Fiaca well enough, but I 

. Murdac knew him intimately, therefore I mourn after him with 

_ tears and great sorrow. For his like was not, no not since the be- 

_ ginning of the race.

i TER. 


_ THE REIGN OF EOCAID OLLAM FODLA, FORTY YEARS, 
‘ B. C. 703 TO 663. 


| Now, when all the chieftains were assembled on the Bruiteine of. 
_ Ullad, Eocaid, the son of Fiaca, the son of Seadna, was elected king: 
_ to rule over the kingdom of Ullad. He is good and the beloved to. 
_ every eye, and his voice is to every ear like very sweet music. Al- 
_ though he was a devout and earnest listener to the ollams in their 
_ scientific dissertations and philosophical teachings, he was, never- 
theless, an expert in the use of arms and the tactics of war, and 
_ loved the sports of the chase. 
. While he was enriching his intellect with knowledge he was in- 
_nuring his constitution and strengthening his body with gallant 
_ deeds. It was thus he laid in store for himself a treasure of excel-. 
lent health. Indeed, while in years a youth, in knowledge and pru-. 
dence he was equal to the oldest of the royal council. At the end 
_ of this year Murdac died and Neartan, his son, was chosen the Ard- 
_ ollam of Ullad. A profound sorrow touched the heart of Eocaid 
" on account of the manner in which Marcac slandered the good name. 
_ of his father. For he had told (so Eocaid heard) to several of the 
chieftains both of Mumain and Gaalen: That Fiaca was the guilty 
cause of Seadna’s death. And Noid spread still further the slanders 
_ oí Marcac, adding many calumniating words himself. 


288 


For this reason, shortly after his election, Eocaid addressed let- 
ters to Noid saying: The ugly slanders which thy father Marcac 
and, latterly, thyself perpetrated against the fame and character of 
Fiaca, my father, annoys my spirit. 

The words of Marcac had fallen from memory, but the injust 
mouthings of Noid has revived them. Hast thou spoken them? 
Give answer, perhaps a misunderstanding; if so, our anger will 
pass. But if thou hast said them then give your authority likewise, 
or at least say that you had no knowledge of the accident, and so our 
feud will pass. Notwithstanding all this, O Noid, if thou refuse to 
answer, think of the eternal sleep—for it will be impossible for the 
pair, Eocaid, king of Ullad, and Noid, king of Mumain, to occupy 
the face of the earth together. 

On the spot Noid sent back letters by the hand of the same 
messengers. i i 

And these are the words of their contents: Shall it be a custom 
that Mumain must speak humbly to Ullad, begging her forgiveness 
íor the very words she shall use? 

Whatsoever things Noid has spoken, he has spoken, and will 
repeat them again in Mumain, aye even in the hearing of Eocaid in 
the kingdom of Ullad. When Eocaid read the reply he said to the 
messengers: Tell Noid that the King of Ullad will hear the words 
of Noid in the kingdom of Mumain. Are not the words pertaining 
to this controversy in the book of Chronicles of the kingdom of 
Ullad in Dunsoberce? Eocaid assembled the people together, and 
he commanded me (Neartan) to read in public to the multitude the 
words of Marcac and Noid and the words of Eocaid to Noid. And 
it was So. : 

As soon as the chieftains and the Gaal heard the words they 
raised their hands and swore that they would wreak vengeance 
on Noid for his accusation. A mightier army did not issue forth 
from Ullad since first the Gaal laid foot on the surface of Errion. 
And I, Neartan, set out with the host on its march to the south. 
When we arrived at the waters of the Buidaman (Boyne) we swam 
or forded its water and, marching through Gaalen, the people were 
amazed, for they heard naught of our expedition. We crossed the 
Sior, and encamped on the narrow plain between the hills Sior 
and Siar. 








259 


i Eocaid dispatched a herald to Noid, saying: Eocaid, the king 
stands on the soil of Mumain to hear the assertion of Noid in the 
presence of the armed hosts of Ullad. 

Noid replied: I vow but Eocaid hath acted treacherously. 

Could not the words of Noid be better heard in the calm of 
peace than in the tempest, and terror of war? The forces of Mu- 
main are scattered through the kingdom. At that time Baal was in 
his house Meas (August). Eocaid answered: Let Baal pass Meas 
'and as far into Cruinnugad (September) as is necessary for the 

massing of your troops. Then Eocaid will listen to the words of 
Noid. And Eocaid retired to the other side of the Sior and en- 
«camped there, surrounded by the comlanns of Ullad, for he said: 
We will pass the waters of the land in the face and in the presence 
of Noid and the-forces of Mumain. So Noid sent postriders and 
_curriers and even foot-runners through every part of the kingdom 
of Mumain that by forced marches he might concentrate his army. 
When Baal was in the last division of Cruinnugad the warriors of 
_ Mumain were observed crossing the mountain marching legion by 
legion and defiling in order unto the plain below. The following 
morning at the first light of Baal the trumpets sounded the battle. 
_ Noid intended to make a stand and prevent the army of Ullad from 
crossing the Sior. He had not heard that Eocaid had filled the river 
“which at that place was very deep with huge rocks at the bottom 
and smaller stone on top, until he made a ford three hundred feet 
wide, the current running through and over the stone, leaving the - 
‘stream its usual appearance, but affording a safe passage for the 
comlanns in succession. When the warriors of Mumain saw the 
“army of Ullad marching by legions over a place so unusual they 
fell back on the pavillion of Noid near the “Tuam-leac-mor,” which 
stands as a Carn over Eocaid, the son of Conmaol, for it was there 
he was unhorsed in a fall without resurrection. It was now the 
hour of midday when the armies confronted each other the second 
"time. They fought valiantly on both sides until Baal sent darkness 
" on the earth. As Eocaid stretched in his tent to rest after the fatigue ' 
-of battle word was brought to him that Noid had fallen that day. 
‘He arose quickly from his couch, saying: As the spirit of Noid is 
‘quenched so let the anger of Eocaid be quenched out forever. And 
| the trumpets called the cessation. The following morning Eocaid 


a eS ee 

































290 


sent to the chieftains, saying: Let there be an end to hostilities. 
Noid was a chief of Iber, therefore chant ye the death-cry, none 
but a chieftain shall sing the battle song. The cromfir placed the . 
weight of Noid in his division of the house of eternal sleep in the . 
tomb of death. The minstrels, the maids and matrons chanted the 
death-cry. When the harps breathed forth their music most sweet 
the men of Ullad were as still as men spellbound. 

Such was the charm of the harps of Mumain. Then Eocaid sang . 
the battle song, showing: How Marcac and Cier, the sons of the 
hero, cherished one another in their inmost hearts. How Cier per- . 
ished in the waves, and how the youth Er, holding the hand of 
Marcac, walked in front of the hosts when they made their tour 
of exploration through the land, how the valiant. warrior shortened 
his strides to suit the steps of the stripling lad. 

The warriors listened attentively. But when he narrated the 
manner in which Marcac, and Noid, now stretched in death, slan- . 
dered the fair name of Fiaca, the son of Er, with the poison of a 
false tongue, the warriors and Eocaid shed tears. 

Eocaid tarried in Mumain nine days and the chieftains of od 
land paid him court, and Ceas, the brother of Noid, came to him 
and they exchanged pledges of mutual friendship. i 

We heard the music of the harps of Mumain, and it was as en-, 
trancing to the ear of Eocaid as a spell; we likewise heard the poets 
recounting the heroics of ancient days; one would think that they . 
believed all their own narrations, so choice and earnest and meas- 
ured was every word and phrase, they certainly elicited our admira-. 
tion. Eocaid said to me: O Neartan, the warriors of Ullad should 
not remain here too long for the sports and music of Mumain will 
render their laborious tasks distasteful to them. Eocaid presented 
two gallant chargers and two wolf hounds to Ceas, for those of 
Ullad are of superior breed to those of Mumain. We marched . 
across the Sior and came to the waters of the Biora (Barrow) and . 
turned to the west until we reached the tents of Maoil, the Chieftain 
of Ros, where Don, the king of Gaalen, awaited the arrival of © 
Eocaid, for Eocaid had sent a deputation to him, saying: If Don, : 
the king of Gaalen, would meet me at the tents of Maol, the chief . 
of Ros? Eocaid commanded that the army march homeward by . 
easy stages, but Eocaid tarried two days and upon proceeding to 



















* 291 
_ Ullad the king and the princes of Er, Ros and Ardfear, and three 
_ of the Chieftains of Ullad, Aod, chief of Maginse, Naoilt, chief of 
_ Ardtan, and Conn, chief of Iargaal, and I Neartan, the Ardollam, 
_ together with a company of cavalry, examined the mountains of 
_ Gaalen, and on the third day we encamped on Eudan Siar, and 
» Eocaid rested there three days; then we repaired to Dunsoberce. 
i Before one moon had passed Eocaid sent a messenger to me say- 
ing: Come into my presence in Dunsoberce. And I stood in the 
_ presence of the king, and he disclosed to me the desire of his mind. 
_ He summoned Aod, the chieftain of Maginse. And Aod and I 
_ Neartan took up our residence with him in Dunsoberce, listening to 
_ his wisdom, which was more profitable to us than our advice to him. 
_ His every word was of the glory of Errion, the good of the chief- 
tains, and the happiness of the Gaal. 
1 At the time that Baal entered into his division Tonnscnad, i. e. 
_ (March), Eocaid, the king, sent Aod, the chief of Maginse, and 
_Naoilt, the chief of Ardtan, with letters to Ceas, who lately had 
been elected king over Mumain, to succeed his brother Noid, and 
also to Don, the king of Gaalen. 
__ They were to say to Ceas: Eocaid will go to the tents of Maol, 
_ the chief of Ros, with words that will interest the ears of Ceas, the 
“son of Marcac. They were to say to Don: If Don, the son of 
. Roiteasac, would go to the tents of Maol, the chief of Ros, Eocaid 
will be on hand with words interesting to the ears of Don. On ac- 
' count of this promise, Eocaid commanded the chieftains Aod and 
Naoilt to await his arrival in the tents of Maol. Eocaid set out 
from Dunsoberce, and I Neartan was in the king’s company, and 
" we made a sojourn of four days on Eudan Siar. Eocaid spoke and 
held converse with the Gaal from Lear to Magnailbe, even unto the 
‘banks of the Buideaman (Boyne). Thence we proceeded to the 
tents of Maol. Already Don and Ceas, as well as the chieftains 
' Aod and Naoilt, were there. 

_ The following morning Eocaid disclosed his mind to Ceas and 
That it behooved the interests of the race that the chieftains 





































be a law common to all the kingdoms of the pee and that they 
should have one international place of assembly for all the king- 
~doms of Errion. That the customs which now prevailed in a con- 


292 


fused manner, be corrected and reduced to a uniform practice. . 
What if the sons of Iber and Iolar, together with the chieftains of . 
Mumain and Gaalen, and the sons of Er with the chieftains of Ullad . 
assemble? He said furthermore: On my going and coming from . 
Ullad I stood on a certain hill called “Eudan Siar ;” I immediately . 
said to Neartan: If only the chieftains, and the children of the Gaal . 
Scioth Iber of Errion would convene on this mount to deliberate for . 
the glory of the Gaal? 

What if the kings Ceas and Don speak? After a pause Eocaid 
said: What if Ceas and the princes of Mumain and Don and the 
princes of Gaalen pitch their tents on Eudan Siar, when Baal enter . 
his division Cruinnugad (September) ? And Eocaid and the princes . 
of Er will meet them there? And it was so. The chieftains gave . 
the hand of friendship to each other and took their departure from . 
the tents of Maol, Eocaid also and his escort returned to Dunso- . 
berce.

THE SECOND CHAPTER, THIRD BOOK. 


Now letters were sent through all Ullad saying: Let the sons of . 
Er and the chieftains of Ullad stand nigh Dunsoberce with buckled . 
cloaks and sheathed swords what time Baal shall come into his di-_ 
vision Meas (August). And it was so. 4 

Eocaid called each son of Er and every chieftain of Ullad to him. 
in Dunsoberce and he repeated to them individually the words that . 
‘took place at the tents of Maol, and they appeared most auspicious . 
to their ears. On the ninth day Eocaid, the king, and all the 
princes of Er who had attained the age, and all the chieftains of 
Ullad and I Neartan, the son of Beirt, set out from Dunsoberce, and 
on the twelfth day after our departure we were on Eudan Siar.. 
Three days after that Ceas, and all the line of Iber, and all the chief- 
tains of Mumain arrived, as did also Ith, the son of Lugad, the 
ruler of Ib-Lugad. On the same day Don, the king of Gaalen, and | 
all the line of Iolar, and all the chieftains of Gaalen except Murcad, | 
the chief of Avdéléc. who was at home sick, all were present on | 
Eudan Siar. During the four days Eocaid and Ceas and Don were © 
examining the land on every side, and when the whole host was as-.. 





293 


_ sembled on the brow of the hill Baal had just entered the house of 
his division Cruinnugad (September). 
___ Eocaid stood in their presence and addressed them: O kings 
_ of Mumain and Gaalen, princes of the race, and chieftains of the 
_ provinces of the Gaal of Errion, we are assembled here according 
to the words which I, Eocaid, sent to you by the hands of curriers, 
be attentive then that you may know the cause, the design and the 
reasonableness of our assembling. When Cealgac turned evil did 
not Calma and Ronard depart from Iber of our ancestors, in order 
_ that no civil commotion could ensue? When the children of Feine 
_ (Phoenicians) strove to subdue and render them tributary, did not 
our fathers retain their freedom because they were united? Did not 
_ Cogard and his supporters, though he was of the royal line, migrate 
__ beyond the Bearna (Pyrenes) in order that there might not be any 
seed of strife in Gaalag? During four hundred and eighty-four 
_ years, that was the space of time our fathers dwelt in that land, all 
_ the hosts of Feine and Aoimag (Hemath or Phrygia) could not wrest 
_ the victory from us, because we were as one man united? When 
_ Sruamac came pouring out slaughter and ruin on the head of 
Gaalag what power could stop him? The hitherto victorious Gollam 
- and his armies failed. They could not resist his onward march. 
_ They could not overcome pestilence, and drouth, and famine? But 
the surviving remnant were united, they preferred danger, yea, and 
_ death itself to the loss of their freedom! For that reason we came 
i hither through the dangers of the great deep. Didn’t we reinforce 
_ ourselves by the help even of the Cegaal Firgneath to withstand the 
ferocity of the Danaan? Notwithstanding that the Gaal Scioth [ber 
» were united and of one mind from the days of Ardfear to the time 
r of Gollam, they were only two years in Errion until strife came. 
_ Baal and Re were shamed by that execrable crime. Sufficient is 
_ said. The children of Gollam have no mutual acquaintance, the 
_ kingdoms of Errion are as if inhabited by stranger races, and the 
_ chieftains of the Gaal like enemies, they do not recognize the 
_ sound of each other’s voices. Eocaid has pondered over these things, 
__ and considered also the proper means to correct the conditions, there- 
_ fore I say: What if the kings of Errion and all the princes of the 
_ line of Gollam, and all the chieftains of the Gaal Scioth Iber con- 
_ vene to elect a person from amongst them, who shall sit even one 


294 


step higher than his brothers, while the whole convention legislates 
laws that will be íor the common good of Errion? And since this 
very hill is most apt for this work, what if we request the Gaal who 
_ reside within these bounds: From Leas to Magnailbe, from Mag- 
nailbe to Buideaman, and thence around again to Leas, that they 
move as the lot cast will show, to Mumain (Munster), to Gaalen or 
to Ullad? And into whatever kingdom they shall go they shall ob- 
tain an allotment of land equal or even greater than that they re- 
linquished, besides our grateful appreciation of the faet? And so 
this land will be vacated, and become the territory of whomsoever 
the brethren shall select to be the chief dignitary of Errion. This 
shall be given to him as the free gift of the brethren for the care he 
will display in the general interests of Errion. What then if this 
hill that from remote days has been called ““Eudan Siar” henceforth . 
be named “Tabartha” (pronounced Tawra, signifying given, or do- — 
nated)? And it was so. ; 
Furthermore, Eocaid, the king, added: If Ceas and Don would 
speak? Ceas arose and said: The words of Eocaid are certainly 





delightful to the ears of Ceas. Don also-arose and said: The words .. 


of Eocaid are good. Then Eocaid laid the proposition before the 
race, saying: What saith the chieftains and the Gaal? If they 
would manifest their pleasure? And they all answered: Let it os SO, | 
it is good. 

Then a mighty banquet was prepared with feasting and drinking 
and all kinds of games to celebrate the universal assemblage of the 
chieftains of Errion. On the day prior to the departure for their 
homes, Ceas and Don came to Eocaid to urge him to proceed with, 
the project begun to its completion and that a committee of three 
chiefs from Mumain and Gaalen would remain with him on Tabarta 
to devise the best facilities for the removal of the Gaal from Eudan 
Siar to their respective allotments in the kingdoms of Errion. And 
it was so. 

So the three chieftains of Ullad, of Mumain and of Gaalen re- 
mained with Eocaid on Tabarta when the others set out to the. 
tents of their dwellings. Eocaid labored without intermission, he 
instructed the Gaal: Stay in your tents until you are full ready, 
even until you shall have gathered the harvest this coming year, the 
words gave pleasure to the hearts of the Gaal. Eocaid did not com- 














295 


mence his progress to Dunsoberce until Baal came into his house 
Blath (April). As soon as they ascertained that Eocaid returned, re- 
_ joicings sprung up all through Ullad. He convened the chieftains, 
the ollam, and the tribunes of the people, and inquired of them re- 
garding such questions as it behooved the public interests that he 
should know. What time Baal was in his house Sgith (June) mes- 
sengers went through all Ullad with word, saying: Let the princes 
of the race, the chieftains, and the tribunes of the people assemble 
on the Bruiteine of Ullad when Baal enters his house Meas (Aug- 
ust). On the appointed day the Assembly was on the Bruiteine 
(Fire-hill). Then Eocaid arose from his dias, saying: You are 
conversant already with the events occuring at Tabarta? Then he 
added: It is my wish that the kingdom of Ullad have laws, but it 
would be bad form to place Ullad before Errion? This project is 
one for deep deliberation, for it does not appear well that laws be 
recorded on the book only to be again erased for correction? That 
there may be sufficient time the messengers will not go through 
Errion this year. Meanwhile what if the chieftains and the ollams 
discuss and ponder on this cause? And to formulate such laws as 
they will judge will tend to the prosperity and peace of Errion? 
And since eventide is drawing near, let us tonight enjoy the tales 
- of ancient times, and the music of harps, tomorrow the ollams will 
read the writings of Eolus and the words of the book of Chronicles. 
And it was so. 

Afterwards the multitude departed for the tents of their dwell- 
ings. Eocaid toiled incessantly, he made tours incognito through 
the country, so gathering up from people of every station of life 
_ data of every kind pertinent to the great project under considera- 
tion. As Baal came into his house Blath (April) swift curriers 
_ were dispatched, saying: O kings and princes of Errion assemble 
_ on Tabarta, when Baal shall cross the theshold of his house Iars- 
_ gith (July). : 

Eocaid, the king, together with all the princes of the race, and 
the chieftains of Ullad, and three ollams, one from each university, 
_ and I, Neartan, the son of Beirt, marched southward when Baal had 
run three divisions of his Fire Asti (Vesta). Eocaid visited all the 
_ Gaal who were to take their departure from the lands of Tabarta, all 
_ of them were desirous to go to the kingdom of Ullad, but Eocaid 


296 


countermanded that. When I Neartan inquired into his reasons for ; 
doing so, he answered: If I should receive to my kingdom those . 


Gaal could not the cromfir of Gaalen, and the bards of Mumain. . 


stir up jealousy and envy enough to destroy the hopes of homme . 
that are now beginning to burst into their first bloom? ; 

When I heard his motive I was silent. A great feast of three 3 
days’ duration was inaugurated, with banqueting, drinking, dancing i 


and harp-music. On the íourth day when all were assembled on the . 


brow of the hill Eocaid arose and said: A while ago L spoke words . 
gracious to Ceas and Don, to the princes and chieftains of Errion, for . 
they expressed as much to me. What if one of the race sit a step . 
higher than his brothers that he may watch over Errion? Are your . 
wishes still the same? They answered as with one voice: Yea. 


Expressing his thanks, Eocaid said: There is no desire in the . 


will of Eocaid except to fulfill the wishes of his brothers. What . 
these desires are may be manifested henceforth; nevertheless, let us . 
remember that patience is preferable to haste, the Gaal are yet . 
dwelling on Tabarta, what if we allow a lapse of time that all may . 
be ready to treat on the questions to be legislated? And he added: 1 
When Baal shall be in his house Iarsgith next year, curriers will . 
be dispatched through the kingdom of Errion to announce the time . 
for assembling even here on Tabarta, until then. we will consider i 
what is best to do. And it was so. | | 7 

The assemblage remained for nine days celebrating with games . 
that interval, with much pleasure and strengthening with profit the i 
bonds of peace. 

Festivities followed with drinking, banqueting, dancing and harp . 
music. When the time for dissolving the assembly came, Eocaid 4 
did not return to Ullad, but set up his tents and dwelt on Tabarta. .

FROM THE REIGN OF EOCAID, OLLAM FODLA, MON- . 
ARCH OF IRELAND, B. C. 703 TO 663. | 


It happened on a certain day, while Eocaid, the king, was ,con- i 
versing with Neartan, his chief ollam, that Ionar, the Ardcromfear . 











297 


oí Gaalen, came to the tents oí the king on Tabarta. And he re- 
lated: As I arose from my sleep three days ago, in the early morn- 
ing at the brightening of day. After purifying my head, my feet, 
my hands and my heart in the sight of Baal the highest. As I 
walked forth behold three youths met me, and one of them accosted 
me: By the face of the holy Re if I see the Ardcromfear it would 
be well for him to know that I bear tidings that pertain to the ears 
of the high prince of Errion. I returned with them to the Asti, 
which is near the Bruiteine of Gaalen, and inquired of them the 
nature of the tidings they bore. 

Saor, one of the number, stood and said: We are men of the 
Gaal Scioth of Iber and we came with tidings to the king who now 
is, for we hear that he is the son of Cier, whose carn stands on the 
rock of the great sea, beyond our.native township (feuran duitce) ; 
thence we have journeyed hither. In olden times our fathers left 
the land of Iber with Cartac, a descendant of the royal line. 

Cartac entertained ambitions that he would obtain the sover- 
_ eignty of that land, as he was unusuccessful, for the chieftains of 
_ Iberia were opposed to him, Cartac therefore banded together a com- 
pany of young warriors, and led them to his liburnian ships that 
rode at anchor on the deep. The day prior to the election of the ~ 
king, Cartac and his young warriors rendezvoused. Now long before 
the days of Cartac, it was the custom on the coronation day of the 
king that a large stone, as white as snow and as round as an apple, 
set in a covered box, and drawn in a six-horse chariot, with many 
_ attendent priests, was used in the ceremony. And the priests said: 
Baal cast the blessed stone out from the bosom of the mountain, 
that with his own hand he fashioned it white, smooth, and round, as 
- an exemplar of what the king should be. And Baal sent forth the 
sound of his voice like the roar of the tempest wonderful, terrific, 
saying: Henceforth let every chieftain of the race assume the pos- 
_ session and title of king from the mouth of the Ardcromfear the 
_ servant, of Baal, and let him be seated on Liafail. Four kings were 
_ crowned by the practice of this custom, and now on the day prior to 
_ the coronation of the candidate who was successful over Cartac, be- 
_ hold Cartac and his band seized the holy stone and bore it with them 
_ to their ships that were riding on the great sea, and they sailed away 
_over the surface of the waters, turning their prows to the western 


298 


world (doman siar), and they followed the going of Baal. Such is 
the ancient tale that came from mouth to ear. What follows is cer- 
tainly true. We are the children of Ton, one of the followers of Car- 
tac, as our fathers have told us. His ship sought a port in this land, 
but was wrecked among the breakers of the strand, the crew, how- 
ever, came safe to land, bringing Liafail with them. 

The Firgneath guided them to the caves which they inhabited. 
As soon as the Firgneath understood the meaning of the distich: 


What region so ever retaineth Liafail, i 
Will also retain the sovereignty of the Gaal. 


Seized upon Liafail. In a similar manner in the lapse of years 1 


and eras when the Danaan heard of the mystery and mystic power 


of this prophecy, they seized upon and bore away Liafail. Liafail 


is now in Ultonnmact, called in their tongue “Stannclidden.” It is 
beneath it the Danaan cast their lots and have recourse to augury. 
Send thither O king and seize it, and assume thy crown and the 
title of sovereignty on it, from the lips of the Ardcromfear, so that 
the sovereignty of the land may remain in the possession of the sons 
of Iber and of the Gaal Scioth Iber forever. Eocaid said to the 
Ardcromfear: Bring those youths into my presence. After he had 
seen them Saor again narrated the story of Liafail. Then Eocaid 
questioned them if they had heard the time in which the events 


occurred. But they knew not the specific time, only that the Danaan’ 


had not yet come to the land in those days. The interview was 
conducted in the dialect of the Gaal Scioth, which they spoke, but 
with some strange words corrupted. 

They dwell on the hills and valleys that touch the waters of the 
sea of Iber, under the fingers of Baal. 

Eocaid dispatched Saor and a company of valliant youths to 
Meirt, king of Ultonnmact, with gifts four steeds, a roll of super- 


fine cloth, and a cloak of shimmering satin, to ask Stanclidden that 
is Liafail. 


After consulting with the nobles who surrounded him, Meirt an-— 


swered: That he would be pleased to render it to a son of Er! So 
Eocaid sent a royal six-horse chariot after Liafail and it was placed 
with tender care on the chariot. And Saor, having divided his com- 
mand, they rode at each side and in front and rear of the chariot 
and its precious burden until they came into the presence of Eocaid, 
the king.

i Now arrived the coronation day of Eocaid, and a vast concourse 
was on the Bruiteine, and a mighty multitude on the surrounding 
_ plain. Baal was in his division larsgith (July) and the heralds is- 
_ sued forth proclaiming: O Eocaid, son of Fiaca, son of Seadna, 
i son oí Ardfear, son of Eolus of the race of Er, sit thou “Ermion!” 
Then there arose the confused roar of the multitudes shouting 
_ with joy and the mighty din of the warriors striking shields. Eocaid 
_ said bring into our presence Saor that good youth from the Gaal 
_ Scioth of Iber, and the tallest warriors carried him in on their 
_ shields, and he related again the story of Liafail. When he fin- 
_ ished, the heralds announced: Eocaid is pleased with Liafail. 

7 But the Ardcromfear and the cromfears and the carneacs were 
_ silent, for they remembered Luban and Cromcruad in the days of 
_ Tigernmas. However, when they saw that the Gaal and the chief- 
_ tains were pleased Ionar stood up, saying: Doth it seem good to 
_ you that Ermion should receive the crown and royal robes seated on 
_ Liafail? All shouted back: Aye, aye! 

i Thereupon Eocaid sat on Liafail, and the Ardcromfear of Gaalen 
put the Essaon on his head and laid the royal robe on his shoulders. 
_ Then the Ardcromfear and the cromfears turned their faces to Baal, 
_ bowing their heads; but the concourse turned their faces to the spot 
_ where Eocaid sat, clashing their shields and emiting shouts of exul- 
~ tation. 

As soon as silence supervened Eocaid spoke to the heralds, and 
_ they proclaimed in a great voice: From this time forth forever let 


_ this Hill be called “Tabarta” (pronounce Tara). All replied so be 


it, so be it! | 

i Indeed the story of Liafail, and all the notable occurrences of 
_ Eocaid’s coronation as Ermion, are recorded on the book of Chroni- 
_ cles forever, as Eocaid, the king, commanded me, Neartan, the son 
_ of Beirt, Ardollam of Ullad. The great festivity was inaugurated 
_ with banqueting and drinking, with dancing and minstrelsy, then 
' followed the heroic contests of Athletic Games for a whole month, 
_ even the month Iarsgith, on the Lios (plain) of Tabarta. Upon the 
_ expiration of the month Iarsgith (July) when the concourse again 
assembled on the Bruiteine, Ermion arose and said: I have not yet 
fully matured nor classified the deductions of my mind, but think 
_ that a year from this time, if it be the pleasure of the chiefs, and 


300 

Gaal of Errion, we will defer the cause until that time? All an- i 
swered: Yes. Erimon then said: Neartan, the Ardollam of Ullad, . 
has words seemly for your ears. And I stood and read publicly the . 
writings of Eolus, and Eterial, and the words of the book of Chron- . 
icles of Gaalag and of Errion even to the very day on which I stood . 
before them. = 
Upon Baal entering into the second division of his house Cruin- . 
nugad (September) the multitudes began to return to the tents of . 
their dwellings. Ermion assigned the care of the kingdom of Ullad 
to Ros, a chieftain of the race, but Ermion himself remained on 
Tabarta, he did not as was his custom proceed to Dunsoberce. But . 
he made requisition of workmen and tradesmen from every Tanas- 
teac in the kingdom of Ullad, and under the specifications of a chief- . 
architect, they felled timbers in the forests, and great beams to be . 
hewed square, and lumber to be cut in planks, and seven and twenty . 
main pillars to be carved round and polished; at the same time the i 
stonecutters were hewing great stones to be ready to course the . 
walls. This is the form and dimensions of this goodly foundation . 
(deagduin) which he ordered built on the pinacle of the hill, Ta- . 
barta: Seven times nine cubits in width, and twenty times nine 7 
cubits in length, the walls were megalithic, smoqth-hewn within and . 
without, they were twice nine cubits high, and nine cubits in thick- 1 
ness. Three great carved and polished pillars sustained the coupling . 
of the roof, and nine sets of them, twenty-seven main pillars in all. . 
The roof was enclosed with a sheathing of split planks, on top . 

of which was a thatch of rushes. There were nine windows in each : 
side wall, the dimension of each window was: A half cubit wide. i 
and three cubits high; in the eastern end there were gates and a . 
vestibule, and the vestibule facing the rising of Baal was enclosed . 
by two great gates of oak, which were lined with iron and riveted . 
through and through. Such was Teacmor on Tabarta. 
Likewise, the king’s house was erected nigh to Teacmor, to be a i 
permanent habitation for the king. When they were completed . 
Ermion sent messengers to Ardfear, a prince of the race of Er, that . 
he should come to him. As soon as Ardfear made his appearance . 
on Tabarta, and I Neartan also present, Eocaid said: Go, O Ard- . 
fear, to Don and Ceas, the kings of Gaalen and Mumain, and an- . 
nounce to them, saying: Eocaid desires that three ollams, and three . 











ae 


times nine tribunes of the people be elected in each of the kingdoms 
_ of Errion in order that they may assist in the legislation and in the 
_ counsels of affairs profitable to their brethren, the children of the 
_ soil. He desires that they should be elected before Baal enters 
 Tarsgith (July). Ardfear departed on his mission, and returned 
with word: Don and Ceas will execute the words of Ermion. In 
_ those days also the Ardcromfear of Gaalen came to Ermion to re- 
- mind him of the nine laws of Baal to the nine Cromfears from the 
_ beginning, and, lifting up his voice, he said: O son of Er, meddle 
not with the laws of Baal. He spoke like one of sovereign authority. 
Eocaid answered him mildly: The thoughts of Eocaid are directed 
_ toward the kingdoms of Errion, he has no wish to turn them toward 
_ the realms of the air, therefore I beseech thee O Cromfear, to be 
silent until we request from thee thy counsel. Notwithstanding 
Ionar again interrupted, saying: Will Ermion destroy the law of 
Baal? Then Eocaid answered him: Is the knowledge and educa- 
tion of the Ardcromfear so limited? It is impossible for human 
power to change the law of God, the law of Baal is beyond the reach 
of every human being? When a person can fly through the air like 
_ a bird, when a person can swim the waters like a fish, when he can 
_ burrow in the earth like the worm, when he can safely live within 
the burning core of the fire, when he can be immortal without 
food or drink, then and not until then can he transgress the laws of 
the All powerful. Again Ionar began to talk, and Eocaid said to 
_ him, graciously: To what benefit is this? So Ionar went his way 
_ from the presence of the king in anger. 


THE FOURTH CHAPTER, THIRD BOOK. 


. The first day of Baal in Iarsgith, Eocaid dispatched his curriers 
with letters, saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and 
the tribunes of the people assemble in the high chamber of Teacmor 
on Tabarta in presence of Ermion, and this will be the signal of 
your coming: Fires will be kindled on the hills of Errion. When 
_ Baal entered Fluicim (November) as soon as the fires blazed up on 
heights of Errion, the brightness, glory and magnificence of the 
land were assembled around Tabarta. Upon the proclamation of the 
heralds the portals of the high-chamber of Teacmor were thrown 


302 


open, and Ermion, and the kings of Mumain and Gaalen, and the. . 


princes, and the chieftains, and the ollams, and the tribunes of the . 


people from every kingdom of the Gaal in Errion entered in. The . 


regal chair was placed in the middle of the chamber one step raised 
above the floor, a table stood on the floor in front of the throne. 
Ceas, the king of Mumain, and the line of Iber took their seats also: 


along the table to the right of the throne. Don, the king of Gaalen, 
and the line of Iolar took their places at the end of the table facing 
the king. Ullad and the line of Er took their places atthe side of . 
the table to the left of the throne, but the chair of Ullad was empty, . 
for its king sat Ermion. The Ardollam of Errion sat between the 
throne and the table, close to him was the Ardollam of Mumain, who 
sat between the king of Mumain and the table. The Ardollam of 
Gaalen between the king of Gaalen and the table. The 
Ardollam of Ullad sat between the chair of the king of 
Ullad and the table. The princes of Iber, the first-born 
of the Gollam, and the princes of Ith, sat to the right and the 
left of the king of Mumain, the princes of Iolar to the right and left 
of the king of Gaalen, the princes of Er sat to the right and left of | 
the king of Ullad, and the chieftains and tribunes sat behind the 
princes, according to the provinces from which they came, last of 
all sat the ollams behind the nobles, according to the division whence 
they came. Upon the table which stood in the presence, was the tract 
of ancient times, the Writings of Eolus, and the book of Chroni- 
cles of Errion. The book of Chronicles usually is open so that words. 
may be written of days and events as they transpire, that they may 
thus be preserved for the eye of future generations. 

Upon Ermion arising from the throne to make his address he 
heard shouts of contention as of battle resounding around Teacmor. 
It was announced to him that there were warriors full-armed on 
Tabarta. Ermion arose and said: Whenever the law of Errion or 
its cause shall be upon the table, it behooves the sword to be 
sheathed, the bow to be unstrung, the cran-tubal (sling) to be hung 


up in the tents of the Gaal. Intellect is the father of justice, arms.  . 


of the evil designs of men. Behold! Ermion girdeth on no sword in’ 
the halls of the Law! Go, O heralds, and proclaim without: Let 
every armed warrior return home to the tents of his habitation, we 








“RE — iol mor 








305 
will have peace, voluntary or compelled, on Tabarta! And it 
was so. 

Ermion arose again and said: Four years have elapsed since I 
was chosen king over Ullad, then the kings, princes and chieftains 
placed me here Ermion that I might unite the children of the land 
together with the bonds of love, and mutual respect, for that reasom 
I have labored without ceasing that the law might assume form and 
force commensurate with shielding the children of Errion from 


_- bondage and violence. You know that the cromfir have asserted 


falsely that they received nine laws from Baal? The foundation of 
that work was laid in falsehood, strengthened by deceit, and kept 
together by the superstition of the ignorant. 

When the cromfirs were asked the reason of their scheme they 
answered: Too many of the race are poor, ignorant, and prone to 
evil; they desire without doubt to enjoy a comfortable leisure like us 
all, therefore they desire power, if there be over them but a human 
law, then the rich will not be secure in their possessions, the regal 
line will not be safe on their throne? Amongst the ignorant fear is 
the most efficacious restraint. Is it the wish of the kings, princes 
and nobles to yield up their treasures and flocks to the possessions 
and appetites of the rabble? Would it not be better and wiser if 
the king would give a little esteem and dignity to the comfirs, so 
that the servants of Baal could keep the Gaal submissive to the rule 
of the king? Then the king in his sovereignty, as well as the crom- 
fear in his little plot of ground, will enjoy security and peace. 

Such was the trend of the discourse of the cromfears. When I 
questioned them, saying: What if the ollams are as zealous to 
teach the people as the cromfear are to keep them in ignorance? 

The cromfir answered: If the ollams shall instruct the poor in 
science and truth, they will become full of unrest, and will begin to 
covet wealth and power. There you have the opinion of the crom- 
firs. Nothwithstanding I do not believe the conclusions arrived at 
by the cromfir, therefore what if the five laws of antiquity stand at 
the head of the roll of the law of Errion, certainly not as the com- 
mands of Baal by the craft of the cromfear, but truly as the law of 
the land, passed by the counsel of the Gaal assembled for that pur- 
pose? What if there be read as the beginning of the preface of the 
tract: 


304 
I. Do not murder. 


2. Do not appropriate the possessions of another. 
3. Do not speak from the mouth what thy mind knows to be 


4. Be merciful to every living thing. | 

5. Do to every man as you would wish him to do to you. 

What if these five laws stand among the laws of Errion? All 
answered: Yea, be it so. And still lifting up his voice Ermion said: 
On a former occasion when we were assembled I said that it was 
the greatest wish of Eocaid that a lasting peace and contentment 
should obtain. It is true we have a law handed down from our . 
fathers, the good work of the chieftains, but it doth not bridle nor . 
curb the evil designs—for no penalty nor fine follows the deeds of 
the guilty. The Gaal is governed by fear not by love. Indeed the 
law we received from the mouth of our ancestors was opened or 
shut by the wish of the judge. Therefore that it may be possible 
for the law to control all the guilty, the chief as well as the Gaal, 
that the judge likewise shall sentence by the law, and the practice 
of Tanistry, what if nineteen judges be appointed in every king- 
dom of Errion, one in each Tanasteac, and one supreme judge to be 
in each kingdom always near the king, and a supreme judge also to 
be near Ermion here in Teacmor? All answered: Yea, be it so. 
We know that it has happened formerly that the judge rendered 
sentence without calling a jury (claustig). What if the judge be 
ruled to silence until after the jury shall have given its yea or nay? 
And if nine jurors be present until each one of them shall have said: 
yea or nay? But if there should be twice nine or more surrounding 
the judge, the case will be adjudged according to the opinion of the 
greater number? And the judge shall not break silence until he 
shall have counted the hands, then let him produce the tract of the 
law, and read publickly in the hearing of the jury, as well as in the 
hearing of the person indicted, the words written thereon? All an- 
swered: Yea, be it so. If the jury shall say that a person killed 
in wilful murder. What if the judge read: Let the cuiprit be taken 
away from the sight of men, and buried in the bosom of the earth, 
let no trace of him remain above ground. They all answered: Yea. 

Ermion said: If a person produce a falsehood before the judge . 
and jury, and the testimony is proven a perjury. Without doubt the . 








305 

 falsifier shall be mulcted the same fine, which would have been 
assessed to the defendant against whom the false indictment was 
made. This same ruling shall obtain in all causes? All answered: 
_ Yea, yea. 

_ Ermion also. proposed: If a person steal from another, and the 
_ theft be proven beyond doubt, the rogue shall pay back double the 
. amount, and he shall be put to shame in the sight of the children of 
the land. But if it shall be impossible for him to pay it, it shall be 
_ assessed upon his tribe, but the thief must bear the oprobrium him- 
self? And all assented. Still standing and lifting up his voice, 
_ Eocaid said: What if these words be written on the tract of the 
laws? 

And this enactment also? Let not the Gaal Scioth Iber issue 
from Erin to devastate the kingdoms of other people, but should 
' foreigners. come to invade the land of Iber, then let the warriors be 
"as one mind and one arm to repulse the invaders into the sea, or 
else to give them graves beneath the soil of Errion? And the vast 
assembly called upon the name of Errion nine times. 

. Then Ermion continued: The land is the inheritance of the 
i children oí Errion; his allotment is given to the king, the princes, 
_ the chieftains, the ollams, the priests, the minstrels and poets, more- 
_over the Gaal have their allotment by tribe? It is from the soil 
each creature draws the sustenance of life. His portion of the soil 
therefore shall be his possession as long as he shall live upon it. 
_And his offspring and the mother of his offspring shall retain it 
until the soil shall be redivided according to the practice of Tanistry. 
Even then the woman who bore, or the maiden’ who may bear off- 
spring, must not be forgotten. 

| _ Has not our mighty race sprung from ‘woman? - O Children of 
_ Errion, render honor and respect to your fathers. Render honor 
_and love every day thou livest to the mother who bore thee and gave 
_ thee pap, minister to her in every necessity, do not look upon your 
_ mother save with thanks and love. O brave sons of Errion, shield 
with the might of your power, protect the daughters of the land! 
What if the practice of Tanistry remain as formerly? And it was 
_ so. Then Ermion said: Shall the foregoing words be written as a 
_ law of Errion on the Tract, a law passed by your will, assembled as 
_ the general congress of Errion, in the high-chamber of Teacmor 

































306 


Tabarta? They answered unanimously : Wea yea. 

Again Eocaid said: I have yet further wishes to tintold to you: 
Since our fathers first came to this land we have remained as strang- 
ers to each other, or worse. What if the kings, princes, chiefs, 
ollams, and the tribunes of the people assemble here in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, when the fires shall blaze on the tops 
of the heights each third year. The imperial senate will hear and 
judge every cause coming from the kingdoms of Errion? : 

Thus reason shall dominate desire, and peace rule over disquiet? 
The imperial senate, however, shall not treat: of causes happening 
within the kingdoms of Mumain, Gaalen or Ullad, only in as much 
. as they bear upon the imperial interests of Errion. Every member 
who sits here is equal; when one arises to speak it is his privilege to 
continue without interruption until he has finished his case; when 
all persons desiring to speak upon the question shall have finished, 
then the count of hands shall be taken? All assented: Yes, be it so. 
Then Eocaid said: I have still more to propose to you: When the 
sons of the hero first came hither to subdue the country, when the 
land was divided into dominions, the Danaan was. given Ultonnmact 
by the stipulations of the treaty of Magmortiomna? And the reser- 
vation of the Cegaal Firgneath (aborigines) was along the boun- 
daries of the waters of the land, between Ullad and Ultonnmact? 

Marcac marched to the south, in his kingdom on the shores of 
the great sed. was the principality of Lugad, the son of Ith. Iolar 
pitched his tents in the very midlands of the island, while to the 
north stretched the kingdom of Er, the son of Cier, chosen by the 
love of the people, though Blath, surnamed Amergein, strenuously 
antagonized him. After two years Marcac fell in the land of Ceio- 
siol, there his name was called Iber the strength of Gollam. Then 
did Iolar undertake to rule all the kingdoms of Errion, for there was 
no son of Iber nor Cier who had attained his majority. He began 
to style himself ‘Ermion.’ There cannot be two Ermions? There- 
fore what if the one elected by the kings, princes, and chieftains 
henceforth be styled ‘Ardrig?’ They all answered: Yes, be it so. 

Then Eocaid said: I have sufficiently disclosed my mind for the 
present, because we, as well as our successors, can amend, repeal, or 
add, to these laws as necessity demands. : 

Then they adjourned from the high-chamber of Teacmor. <Ac-

307 


«cording to custom the great festival was celebrated for three days; 
on the fourth day when the senate assembled in the high-chamber of 
‘Teacmor, Ardrig arose and said: The text of the law of Errion, 
and the practice of Tanasteac is written on the rolls, and they are 
on the table of this high-chamber of Teacmor, what if the tract be 
read? All answered: Yea, yea, be it so. The Ardollam read them 
publickly, and they seemed good and just. Then Ardrig said what 
if the judgments stand? And all assented. ‘Then Ardrig said: Read 
the writings of Eolus, and the book of chronicles. And I Neartan 
read the words to the end. Then Ardrig commanded: Let the her- 
alds proclaim without: Stands any person on Tabarta demanding 
justice? | 

Since no voice responded, the heralds reported within: None. 
“They then adjourned and the doors of the high-chamber were closed. 
But Eocaid suffered no one to depart while Baal was in his house 
Fluicim (November). The great feast was made ready, and on the 
minth day the kings, princes, the chieftains, the ollams, and the tri- 
‘bunes of the people, assembled on the Bruiteine of Tabarta, and 
Ardrig arose in the midst of the assemblage and said: Every third 
year after the session of the general assembly in Teacmor; what if _ 
ne month be dedicated to GAMES? So that the courage and 
spirit of the Gaal may be increased through all Errion? 

What if this coursing plain lying at the foot of Tabarta be dedi- 
«ated as the ‘Field of Contest’ for ever? They answered: Yea, be 
it so! Ardrig said: What if entry to these contests be denied to 
every applicant who shall not be of the mecessary age? Who shall 
not be a freeman holding possessions? Who shall not be clean from 
very fine, and imputation of the law? From misdemeanor and in- 
famy? The assembly answered: Yea, be that so. 

What if Ardrig, and the king of Ullad and the king of Gaalen, 
and the king of Mumain, constitute a committee to award-the prizes? 
‘The assembly answered: Yea, yea. Ardrig said: What if the 
prizes awarded be nine in number? A prize for each kind of game? 
‘The prize of philosophy. The prize of music. The prize of poetry. | 
“The prize of bravery. The prize of expertness with arms (the spear, 
the javelin, and the sword and the use of the bow and sling). The 
ptize for sparring. The prize for horsemanship. ‘The prize for 
«charioteering. And the prize for the swift of ‘foot? The assembly 


308 


answered: Yea, be it so. And, continuing, he said: What if the 
value of the prize in each class be nine cumals? And the badge of 
the winner to be in gold or silver, and the title of dignity for the 
victor to be: Rig or royal added to the victor’s profession as rig- 
ollam, rig-bard, rig-file, rig-loac, rig-eactra cean-comlann  ceap- 
consanta rig-currad, etc. And that it be unlawful and impossible 
forever to reduce to slavery any person gaining any of these honors 
on the field of Tabarta? And the assembly answered: Yea, let it 
be so. And he said: It shall not be lawful for any one to go into 
any other division of the world as the champion chosen to represent 
Erion’s prowess, unless he first have won the title of royal cham- 
pion on Tabarta’s ‘Field of Contest.’ They all answered: Yea, be 
it so, and it was so recorded. After these things transpired toward 
the end of Fluicim (November) the hosts began to depart for the 
tents of their dwellings, but Ardrig remained at Tabarta. 


FOURTH BOOK, FIRST CHAPTER. 


Now Eocaid Ardrig dwelt under the cover of his pavillion, and 
' the rain fell in torrents, and the winds blew a tempest, and a bitter 
cold supervened, yet Ardrig would not enter the chambers of Teac- 
mor, for he said: Do not the sons of Marcac and Iolair dwell in 
their tents? 
Eocaid had a great desire to establish a Mur-n-ollam (university) 
in proximity to Teacmor for the sake of the youth, but he could not 
make the beginning then, on account of the rain and cold. Upon 
the coming of Baal into his division Blath (April) Eocaid set out for 
Dunsoberce, and as the rumor went: That the king had returned 
to Ullad, the princes, the chieftains, the ollams and the Gaal came 
to him, and their tents whitened the circumjacent plains. Now the 
king had a taste and a high esteem for the tales of olden times. 
And Deamna narrated the story of Deamna and Ailt and of the 
dog Gaoit (Wind) in the hearing of Eocaid, the king, and the Gaal. 
Eocaid questioned whether the narrative was founded on fact or 
produced from the fancy of the bards? And Meiltan, the aged chief- 
tain of Larne, answered: It is a true tale for I have now in the 
tents of my dwelling Cosluath (Swiftfoot), a pup of the breed of 
Luath (Swift) and Gaoith (Wind). 


309 

Eocaid said to Neartan: Write the words of the story for in such 
there is instruction and pleasure, good to tell and pleasant to hear. 

At this time king Eocaid made a royal progress through Ullad, 
and decreed: That three Mur-n-ollam (universities) be built, one 
in Drumscrit, one in Drunmore, and one in the vicinity of Dunso- 
berce, as Eolus had formerly designed to do. And he passed through 
Maggeintir, that is the territory of the Firgneath, on his way to 
Ultonnmact, the country of the Danaan, and it chanced that he saw 
Tatla, a beautiful maiden, of that land, she was of incomparable 
beauty. Her praises were in the mouth of all Geintir: How she 
lived with her widowed mother and family and would not leave her 
for the proposal of marriage from the best of the tribe of Firgneath. 

And Eocaid took Tatla to himself. 

When he returned he sent curriers through Ullad, saying: Let 
the princes and chieftains and nine of the ollams and twice nine of 
the tribunes of the people assemble immediately to meet the king 
on the Bruiteine of Ullad. 

And Eocaid summoned Morda, the chief judge, and Neilt, the 
judge of Ardtan, and Beirid, the judge of Iargaal, to come to him 
at Dunsoberce. When the assembly of Ullad was in session Eocaid 
arose and said: We are met here to legislate for the kingdom of 
' Ullad. You are conversant with the decrees written on the rolls 
in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta? Is there any member 
here who desires to make any admendment to be added to them? 
Morda arose and said: Sire, the king hath not remembered the 
judge for he hath not designated any member of the bench to sit 
with him in the general assembly of Errion, nor even to stand in his 
presence on the Bruiteine of the kingdom of Ullad? LEocaid an- 
swered: The king hath remembered and decreed: The office of 
the judge shall be: To harken the complaints of those who suffer 
evil, to listen to the jury (clustig) and read publicly the words of 
the law. Notwithstanding it might be well if a judge were present 
to expound the meaning of the law if occasion requires but not in- 
deed to vote when the count of hands be taken. 

Therefore what if three judges whom the king will name, shall 
stand in his presence on the Bruiteine? It was so decided. Then 
the king said: What if the chief judge read publicly the words on 
the rolls of the law of Errion? And Morda read the words. And

Eocaid said: What is the pleasure of this assembly, shall we adopt 
the nine laws of Errion, as the laws of the kingdom of.Ullad also? 
They answered: It is our wish; let it be so decreed., Then Eocaid. 
said: What if the judgments also stand here as at Tabarta? And 
they replied: Yea, even so be it. 

And Eocaid said: What if we adopt the practice of Tanistry as 
well? And they answered: Yet, so be it. Then Eocaid ordered: 


Let the writings of Eolus be read publicly, and the words of the ~ 


book of Chronicles, so according to rule one of the ollams of Dunso— 
berce read the writings of Eolus, and the book of the Chronicles of 
Gaalag, but I Neartan read the book of the chronicles of Errion. 
Then the king commanded the heralds: Proclaim publicly: Stands 
any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice? And no voice 
was heard in answer. The hosts remained in Dunsoberce nine days 
celebrating with joyful cheer games and the chase and the dance. 
At this time Eocaid summoned to him Feargais (Fergus or Phyr- 
rus), a prince of Ullad, and Delab, one of the ollam, and Morda, the 
chief judge, in order that they might sit as regents over the kingdom 
of Ullad. He charged Feargais to watch over the construction of 
the Mur-n-ollam, and Dealb that he strengthen the spirit of the 
youth that he open for their ears the words of Wisdom and truth. 
After these things were adjusted Eocaid set out for Tabarta for he 
was desirous to begin the construction of the Mur-n-ollam of Teac- 
mor. Now the Mur-n-ollams are completed, but the ollams have 
not yet taken up their abode in them. There is peace and happiness 
throughout all Errion. Ardrig walks in the way of justice, his in- 
tellect showing the path, and truth guiding his footsteps therein. 
Upon the coming of Baal into his house Iarsgith (July) Eocaid set 
out for Dunsoberce. On this occasion he sent Ardfear (Arthur) 
with a retinue to Tabarta to dwell there and report to him what 
events might transpire. : 

The day after the arrival in Dunsoberce the king said to me: O 
Neartan, go to the Mur-n-ollam and remain until I come to you. The 
following morning Eocaid proceeded to the Mur-n-ollam. And the 
ollams and the youths in their thousands came out to do honor to the 
king. And arriving at the vestibule of the Mur-n-ollam the ollams- 
halted so that the king could enter first, but the king said: Nay, let 
the ollams enter, for it behooveth not that the dignity of any one 


. TEAS ee Poe ee .— 











all 


should appear greater to the eyes of the youths than their professors? 
And Eocaid sat among them giving lessons of wisdom, and instruc- 
tion of truth to the wisest ollams in all Ullad. And he charged the 
ollams with the care they should zealously give to the youth. In 
those days there was peace and contentment on all sides throughout 
Errion. 

Now in the sixth year of the reign of Eocaid in Ullad Don, the . 
king of Gaalen, died, the time of the reign of Don was thirty and 
seven years, and Roiteasac, his son, was chosen to rule in his place. 
Eocaid did not proceed to Teacmor until Baal was in his house 
Blath (April), and nine ollams from Ullad followed in his train. 
And what time all things were ready in Mur-n-ollam Teacmor Eo- 
caid proceeded and installed them there. And the king furnished 
them all their supplies, for he doubted whether it was lawful to 
make their regular division and appropriation before the session of 
the general assembly on Tabarta, which would deal with the case 
according to the regular procedure. Moreover, he knew not the re- 
gard of the kings of Muman and Gaalen for the project probably 
unfriendly? He called Ardfear and me Neartan to him and said: A 
year and a halfis too long to leave the youth without attention, there- 
fore he called the ollam before him and ordered them, saying: Take 


the youths into your Mur-n-ollam, and he set apart from the crown- 
lands of Ardrig nine divisions for the ollams and nine other equal 


divisions for the youths. As quickly as the knowledge of these 
events spread abroad multitudes of the children of the land came to 
the Mur-n-ollam for up to this date the youth of Gallen was without 
provision in the matter of learning. For be it known that the dig- 
nity of the cromfear is in Gaalen like the dignity of the Bard in 
Mumain or like the dignity of the ollam in Ullad. In these days 
Feargais sent an embassy from Dunsoberce to Ardrig concerning 
the acts of the cromfir of Ullad toward the Carnacs and the secri- 


fices of Baal. But Eocaid instructed the embassy to postpone the 
cause until he should return to Ullad himself. Every tongue praises 


Feargais for he rules with truth and wisdom, with justice and 
mercy. Ardrig dwells in Tabarta, his mind vigalant for the up- 
building of Mur-n-ollam Teacmor.

THE SECOND CHAPTER, FOURTH BOOK. 


Now swift curriers sped through Errion with letters, saying : Let 
the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams and tribunes of the people as- 
semble in the presence of Ardrig in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta, what time the fires shall blaze on the Raths of Errion. On 
the appointed day the general assembly met, and Ardrig arose and 
said: After the usual nine days of entertainment Ardrig has a 
word for the general assembly in relation to the Mur-n-ollam of 
Teacmor. As soon as Ardrig finished his address, the heralds an- 
nounced: A messenger of the Firgneath stands without with a com- 
plaint against the Danaan. Ardrig answered: Inquire whether the 
Danaan heard the words of the indictment which the Firgneath. pre- 
fers against them? And they answered: No, the Danaan have 
not heard. So Eocaid Ardrig ordered: Let the Man of Geintir 
reside in the pavilions of the king, until a currier is sent with word 
to Meirt, king of Ultonnmact. Then the general assembly went 
forth to the celebration that was ready. 

On the ninth day the doors of the high-chamber were opened. 
And on standing Ardig said: O kings and mighty leaders of Er- 
rion, since last the general assembly was in session I Eocaid Ardrig 
have established the Mur-n-ollam of Teacmor. In truth it houses 
even now nine ollams and a goodly number of youths. Since it was 
almost two years to the regular session of the general assembly, I 
gave from my own credit twice nine shares (nine to the ollams and 
nine to the youths) until such time as the general assembly would 
meet. I desire now that this matter be legislated upon in due form. 
Therefore what if the divisions for the ollams and the youths stand 
confirmed for the Mur-n-ollam of Teacmor? Then the king of 
Gaalen arose and said: Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, saith: Has 
Eocaid Ardrig aught to say about appropriating a share to the crom- 
firs from the lands of the Ardrig? Eocaid answered: No, I have 
not. But if Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, hath aught to say upon 
such a case, the ear of Eocaid will be attentive, and, likewise, his . 
tongue ready to make answer, | 

After hearing this reply, Roiteasac remained silent. Therefore 
Focaid said a second time: What if the divisions of the ollams and 
the youths of Mur-n-ollam Teacmor from the lands of Ardrig be 








ee a 


ve 








313 
duly constituted by law? The majority of the general assembly an- 
swered: Yea, be it so, and it was so. 

After these things had transpired, Eocaid Ardrig invited Ceas, 
king of Mumain, and Roiteasac, king of Gaalen, and the princes 
and chieftains, to accompany him on a visit to the Mur-n-ollam of 
Teacmor, the ollams of the general assembly, and I Neartan were 
in the train. The spirit of Eocaid Ardrig was elated at the dignity 
of that visitation. Yet a sharp shaft shot his heart as he observed 
the ill concealed ridicule of Mumain and the scorn of Gaalen’ for the 
labors accomplished by the ollams. After he had returned he said 
to me: O Neartan, my expectations from Gaalen, aye even from 
Mumain, are very weak. Now when the general assembly sat in 
session a second time in the high-chamber of Teacmor, the heralds 


proclaimed without and within: There stands on Tabarta a man of 


Geinstir with an indictment, and a noble of the Danaan. The as- 
sembly answered we hear. And Ardrig said: Conduct them in. 
Then the complainant of the Firgneath stood in the presence of the 
king and this is what he asserted: The king seeth Featam of Geintir 
as the Children of Er call us. And this Featam declares: The 
Danaan sweeps over our land like a horse racing in wild play be- 
cause of high feed that comes in abundance from the barns of Ard- 
tig, he shorts and kicks and goes out of power for he hath not rein 


mor rider. 


The Danaan feels light and lively since Ullad tess them from 


4 tribute for the sake of the ‘Stanclidden’ which was our ‘Obba’ which 


our fathers took from the sailors who came from the eastern world. 
Hath the chieftains of Fodla forgotten the manner in which our 
fathers helped their fathers to conquer this land? The Danaan re- 
member the aid we gave against them, why then should not the 


_ chieftains of Fodla remember the good we did them? The Danaan 
_ despoils our land overrunning it as they please, they sail upon our 
_ water and if we hinder them they resort to violence against our 
_ people. Does not a man from Graidil lie now covered with wounds? 
_ When we complain to Meirt they do not allow our messenger to 


come into his presence. For this reason I Featam, a man of Fodla, 


"stand on this land to make my protest against the injustice and to 
hear the words of the judgment of the king? 


Ardrig said: Let the noble of the Danaan make answer to the 


ERC Sn 


314 
indictment. As Orlath, the noble of the Danaans, arose he replied 
wiathfully like this: Is it possible that the Danaan shall accept law 
or chastisement from their thralls? Will that cloden hinder the 
mighty nobles of the Danaan from disporting themselves on the 
waters of the land? When the Danaan had finished, Ardrig arose 
and said: Gently, O Orlath, when the sons of Gollam conquered 
this land they did not reduce you to bondage nor persecute you? 
Did not Eterial write down the words of Marcac: The children of 
Iber will not be slaves nor will they rule over slaves for ever! There- . 
fore is it possible that the Danaan should persecute the race who 
sprung from the elements of this very soil? Long before the coming . 
of the Danaan from under the fingers of Baal, long before the flight © 
of the Gaal over the blessed waters of the Euphrates, yes even the 
time that all things were made, were not the protoparents of the . 
Firgneath in this Fodla? The land you call Banba, and we Errion? 
Shall not the sons and daughters of Fodla be permitted to stretch . 
peacefully on the bosom of the soil that is their true mother? There- . 
fore, O Orlath, repeat the words of Ardrig to the ears of Meirt so 
that peace may reign through all Errion. And Orlath drew near . 
the throne and said with a loud and angry voice: If Orlath should . : 
repeat the words of the king in the presence of Meirt could he not 
say: The occasion when Iber gained the victory over the Danaan 
by the treachery of the Cloden, did they conquer all the land? Do i 


Hí 
> 


not we possess Ultonnmact by treaty? If Iber should persecute the . 
cloden and the cloden complain to the Danaan and if the Danaan ~ 

should say restrain thy hand O Iber, what answer would Iber make? . 

Thereupon Ardrig said: Truly, Ultonnmact was conceded to you 

by the covenant of Magmortiomna and the provisions of that treaty . 
will be observed, nevertheless Orlath seems to forget that it is the 
race of Gollam, and not the Danaan who rule in Errion the region 
of green! The sons of Errion have extended the hand of friendship". 
to the chiefs of Ultonnmact, and Tatla, our wife, the partner of our . 
heart, is of the daughters of Fodla. For this reason Eocaid will not . 
decide. The general assembly may pass judgment, until then let 
Orlath and Featam sit among the nobles of Errion. The general 
assembly went into consultation and they took counsel, and Ruad- 
ruide, a prince of Ullad, arose and said: What if past offenses be 
ignored, but hereafter it be prohibited for the Danaan to cross to the

lands or sail their waters by violence, and likewise it be forbiddem 
the Firgneath to stray deceitfully through the possessions of the 
_ Danaan. i 
And so the case was adjudicated. 
. Then Ardrig said: Give to each other, O Orlath and Featam, 

the hand of friendship and the word of peace. And Ardrig ordered. 
_ the words of this peaceful composition to be written on the rolls 
_ of the tract of the laws and the general assembly will be called to 
confirm them. And it was so. 
So Eocaid took Orlath and Featam with him to the pavillion of 
Tatla and they dwelt there. The kings of Errion made a tour of 
inspection through the lands of Ardrig. Thick were the herds of 
cattle and flocks of sheep the possession of the Gaal which grazed 
over the lands, but Eocaid left them unmolested. At the next ses- 
sion of the general assembly the words were recorded on the book 
_ of the Chronicles, and Ardrig arose and said: What if the words 
be read? So the words on the rolls of the laws were read, as well 
as the laws of Errion and the practice of Tanisteac and the words 
of the book of Chronicles to the finish. And they were meet and 
just. As they adjourned the gates of the high-chamber of Teac- 
mor were closed. Then ensued the month of the Games according 
to practice on the Field of Contest of Tabarta. Champions of royal 
_achievement came from every part of Errion and many also from 
the western world. During the month of the Games Eocaid dwelt on 
Tabarta. But as soon as that month was past he gave his atten- 
tion to the ollams and the youths. The cromfirs of Gaalen sought 
to cause strife for Eocaid Ardrig filling the mind of Roiteasac, king 
_ of Gaalen, and the princes of that kingdom against him. But Ard- 
rig preserved the cause working continually for the betterment of 
-Errion. Feargais rules as viceregent in Ullad. The Gaal increases 
wonderfully, the land is fertile, teeming with products, and the pas- 
tures filled with cattle. Now when Baal was entering his house 
 Blath (April) Eocaid Ardrig set out for Dunsoberce, where mes- 
 sengers with letters were awaiting him, saying: Ceas, the king of 
. Mumain, died, and all the line of Iber except Failbe are mustering 
armed warriors, and Roitseasac, king of Gaalen, lends his influence 
to the pretentions of Roain and promises to aid him to attain the 
throne of Mumain. The information grieved Ardrig for he said: I 


316 

had hoped it could be said in future times that peace supervened 
through all the. days of Eocaid Ardrig in Errion. Eocaid thought 
to go to Mumain to confer with the princes of Iber, but then he re-. 
flected. They have not appealed to the counsel of Eocaid, and there 
is no word pertaining to such a case either in the tract of the law. 
or in the practice of Tanistry. There is nothing “to prohibit the a i 
tion of the sons of Iber. And, lo! while he was contemplating thes 
things a swift currier from Failbe, the brother of Noid and Ceas, i 
came to him; these were the words the messengers brought: The. 
princes of. ve are gathering the warriors together in the kingdom. 
oí Mumain, and Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, is abetting Roan. Al- 
though Failbe has a desire and a right to the throne oí his father’s 
kingdom, notwithstanding he will not seize it by violence. The 
lessons he received from Eocaid have been profitable to him, ther i ; 
fore he loves order and peace. If Eocaid would say to Roiteasac: 
Gently now O Roiteasac, permit the princes of Iber and Ith, and t te. 
nobles of Mumain to elect him who shall rule over Mumain ; lea re 
also the sword, the bow and the sling stowed in the tents oí the war- 
riors. Thus there will be peace and satisfaction in the land of Errio n. 
The king sent word to me Neartan and I came into his presence, a id. 
joy beamed in his countenance, as he read to me the text of the 
message from Failbe. Early the following morning Ardrig and hi s 
retinue set out for Teacmor. The princes Ruadruide and Ros, and - i 
Neartan were of the company. 4 

Eocaid tarried two days at Tabarta, and as he was nearing the 
Bruiteine of Gaalen, he heard that Roiteasac was at the tents of Dor 1, 








the chieftain of Almuin, he went thither. He conferred with th 
king of Gaalen, and Roiteasac gave him the word of promise tha 
the comlanns (military divisions containing three thousand soldiers) i 
would not march out of the kingdom of Gaalen. Thereupon Ardru | 
wrote letters to the princes of Iber of the íollowing purport: Ala a ) 
a voice came to the ears of Eocaid, king of Ullad, saying: Ceas, the 
son of Marcac, king of Mumain, is dead, and the warriors are m s- 
tering around their chieís, it wrings the heart of Eocaid to kn 
that Caes is no more, Mumain mourns him, will you prolong the 
weeping and lamentation in the land by your quarrels, O princes? 
At an era when both the law and the practice of Tanasteac obtains 
in Errion, will the sons of Iber forfeit respect for authority 2 


their sense of dignity?

i 317 
Hí we have reached that extremity, Eocaid, the king of Ullad, 
“will abdicate his throne so that one of you may occupy the place, if 
‘by so doing he will be assured of the peace of Errion. What if the 
“princes of Iber and Ith, and the chieftains of Mumain elect a ruler 
according to law and the practice of Tanasteac? Eocaid, the king of 
‘Ullad, beseeches this kindness of his brethren, even as a brother 
seeks a favor from the brother of his love. Moreover, be it also 
known to you that Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, is of one mind 
with me on this subject. Eocaid sent these words by his messengers 
‘to the princes, but by the hand of Failbe’s own currier he sent the 
same words with this postscript: The heart of Eocaid is attached 
o Failbe and his cause. 
_ The princes of Iber followed the counsel of Eocaid, and the war- 
‘Tiors remained in their camps. The princes and the chieftains as- 
sembled on the Bruiteine, and they elected Failbe, king over the 
‘kingdom of Mumain. At that time Neartan said to Ardrig Eocaid: 
If the king would acquaint me with the words of the princes of 
ber that I might record them on the book of Chronicles for the in- 
spection of the general assembly of Teacmor Tabarta? But the 
king replied: No. Dost thou not perceive that the words are the 
ansaction of Eocaid, king of Ullad, but not of Eocaid as Ardrig? 
But when thou shalt write those transactions in the book of Chron- 
es of Ullad thus shalt thou say 
And Eocaid said to Neartan: May the princes of Iber be worthy 
even as was the firstborn of Bile, the hero! Eocaid dwelt in Teac- 
mor and he built an addition of three great halls and three smaller 
chambers to the palace of the king. He makes frequent visitations 
to the Mur-n-ollam for he loves the youth, examines their progress 
ind gives them instruction. On the coming of Baal into the third 
livision of his house Iarsgith (July), Eocaid Ardrig set out with his 
retinue for Dunsoberce. He questioned Feargais whether he had 
ufficiently inquired into the cause of the cromfir? 
_ Feargais answered: I ascertained that it is of common occur- 
tence for the carneac to go about begging offerings for Baal, and 
ouring forth complaints that the cromfir have taken possession of 
he division of the soil to themselves, saying: Do you not live among 
he Gaal, are not their tents open to you, do you not partake of their 
are, what is wanting to your On the other hand, the Gaal com- 






















318 


plain that the cromfir intimidate them, threatening the penalty of 
evil spirits over which Baal had given them power. For this rea- 
son the carneac do not leave empty handed in their quests. 

No word is spoken publicly about these abuses, only confiden- 


tially from mouth to ear, for the Gaal stand in fear of the cromfir. 


Furthermore, Feargais said: I know the cromfir pass their time in 
the society of the chieftains and the tribunes of the people in leisure 
and ease while the carneac pass their lives with the Gaal in poverty 
and hardships, 


Forthwith swift curriers went coe Uliad, saying: Let the 


princes, chieftains, ollams and tribunes of the people, together with . 


the judges, assemble without delay in the presence of the king on the 
Bruiteine of Ullad, he also gave to the messengers letters for each 


chieftain, instructing: Bring from your Tanasteac one cromfear . 
and one carneac, to be present on the Bruiteine when the assembly . 
convenes round the king. As soon as the assembly came into session . 


Eocaid, the king, arose and said: Are the cromfir on the Bruiteine? 
The heralds answered: They stand on the Bruiteine. Eocaid or- 
dered: Let the princes and chieftains stand at my right hand, and 


the ollams and the tribunes at my left, but let the cromfir stand . 
before the assembly. Having called the three judges to himself, 


taising his voice, he said: Word came to Feargais, who sits vice- 
gerent in Ullad, and from his mouth to the ear of Eocaid, saying: 


That the cromfir engross to themselves the land that was allotted . 


for the whole priesthood. Then instructing the carneac to solicit 


offerings from the people for Baal and these offerings they appro- | 


priate as their share. 


What if the Ardcromfear would declare his knowledge or want . 


of knowledge in these things? 
The Ardcromfear cast a look at the assembly, and then at the 
cromfir on this side and on that, but he answered not a word. Again 


the king repeated the same query. Then, after a pause, the Ard- . 
cromfear said: If the Ardcromfear might hear from whom among . 
the carneac the indictment came to the ear of prince Feargais? Eo- . 
caid, the king, replied that they knew not the name of the man, but . 
probably if they all came into the presence Feargais might identify . 
him. Feargais inspected the number of cromfir and carneac pres- . 


ent, but indeed recognized none of them as the ones sought after.

The chieftains laughed publicly, but the cromfir cast their looks on 


the ground. Then Eocaid, the king, put this question: What por- 


tion of the allotted land do the carneac possess at the present, and 
in what manner do they obtain subsistence? They all observed a 
profound silence. 

After a little the Ardcromfear said: Do not these affairs pertain 


- to Baal, why then are they treated of before a popular assembly?

Chronicles of Gaalag and of Errion. And their words were very 
' good. 


But king Eocaid answered: 
It is my opinion that the assembly is not prepared to hold con- 


_ ference on the case. Then he ordered the chief judge of Ullad, say- 


ing: O Morda, read the words of the law of Ullad, and the words 
of the practice of Tanasteac. And they were read. Then he com- 
manded: Read the writings of Eolus. And it was done accordingly. 


_ After that the king said: Tomorrow the book of the Chronicles of 


Gaalag, and the book of the Chronicles of Errion will be read in 
Dunsoberce. 

Then the heralds nivclaitied with a loud voice: Stands any one 
on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice? But no voice an- 
swered. 

Then the assembly adjourned and they went along with the ac- 
companying multitude with Eocaid to Dunsoberce, but not one crom- 
fear was in the train. The day and the night was spent in festivity. 
The following morning I Neartan publicly read the books of the 


Eocaid dwelt in Dunsoberce until Baal entered his house Cruin- 
_nugad (September). Then he repaired to Teacmor, where Failbe 
and Roiteasac came together, for Failbe desired to visit Ardrig 
_Eocaid; this was the reason he came by way of the capital (bota- 


naib) Gaalen, so that the king of Gaalen could accompany him. 
_ Eocaid was rejoiced in heart and mind, for he said to me: O Near- 
tan, I hold high expectation of Failbe; he is as prudent as any 


descendant of the hero, perchance through his influence Roiteasac 


may in time incline more to the ollams and less to the cromfir? 


We made many visits to the Mur-n-ollam, the ollams did not re- 
fer to the scornful jests of the cromfir on account of the presence 


of Roiteasac, the king. Failbe and Roiteasac remained a month in 
‘Teacmor, and resided in the new chambers, which Ardrig added to 


320 
Teacmor, for on the exposed brow of Tabarta the covering of the 
pavillion is not sufficient when the rain pours and the winds blow. 
Notwithstanding Eocaid would not dwell under the roof of Teacmor,. 
for he said I will not be the cause of envy to my brethren. When 
Baal entered his house Sgith, Eocaid returned to Dunsoberce. He 
inquired from Feargais regarding the cromfir, and Feargais re- 
ported to him that he heard for a certainty that the cromfir schemed 


so as to prevent the presence of the carneac who had spoken to Fear: . 


gais; but that the chieítains knew nothing of their schemes. Swift 
curriers were dispatched through Ullad, saying: Let the assembly: 
"meet on the Bruiteine of Ullad when Baal shall be in the third cham-. 
ber of Meas (August), let the cromfir also be on the Bruiteine. 
- While awaiting the convening day Eocaid made a royal progress. 
through Ullad, paying all the expenses of the journey from the 
royal treasury. He stayed in no place more than three days, when 
his train of attendants moved his pavillions and parapharnalia to. 


another district. He also passed into Geintir to pay court to Tata, . 


the mother of Tatla, and a company bore numerous gifts to bestow 
upon her. V 

It transpired on this journey that Eocaid conversed with Near-- 
tan: The ollams assert that the ignorant are impudent and arrogant. 
This proposition should be scanned more carefully in the schools ?: 


I for my part consider the uneducated are too lowly of spirit, as wit- . 
ness the example of the Firgneath? When one thinks himself 


learned but in reality is not, then it is that he is arrogant. There-. 
fore it is not the lack of knowledge but false knowledge that puffs 


up! It would be well if some of the ollams could be established. 


among the Firgneath. At this time the mind of Roiteasac is friend- 
ly, yet there is anxiety for fear of the soft whisperings of the crom- 


fir, for the whisper of a false tongue is like the mountain torrent, . 


bursting over everything. 


In his inspection of the schools the king was overjoyed at the- 


prosperous condition in which he found them. Now the assembly 


was in session on the Bruiteine of Ullad, and all the cromfir close at. 


hand. King Eocaid commanded: Let the cromfir stand in the pres-. 


ence of the assembly. And it was so. Then, raising his voice, the- 


king said: When last we were assembled here we heard the re- 


sponse of the Ardcromfear: It is not licit that the cromfir speak of . 








321 

the things pertaining to Baal in the presence of the assembly. But 
let the Ardcomfear say if he can that the indictment which Fear- 
gais heard against him is false? It is my opinion that the Ardcrom- 
fear certainly will say it? Moreover, word has come to hand of the 
deceit of the cromfir, how they kept away every carneac who had 
spoken with Feargais so that they could not bear testimony to the. 
guilt of the cromfir. Notwithstanding that I may see the deceit 
of the Ardcromfear nevertheless so long as it has not been proven 
according to the form of law, we must let it pass. Therefore let the 
heralds call out in the hearing of the cromfir and all the multitudes 
about the Bruiteine: Stands anyone on the Bruiteine of Ullad de- 
manding justice? But no one answered. After that the king com- 
manded: Read publicly the book of the Chronicles of the days of 
Ardfear, the son of Og, the chieftain of Gaalag. And it was so. 
Again the king said: While the ollams of Ullad are four times nine 
and one, but the cromfir and the carneac are more than three times 
that number. At first the cromfir were allotted a division of the 
soil for the sake of instructing the youth of the kingdom truly they 
took possession of their allotments eagerly, but let the instruction of 
the youth to the ollams? There are too many cromfir, and daily 
increasing, for it is the custom for the children of cromfir to become 
cromfir like their fathers, and the same is true in the case of the 
carneac who subsist by the offerings of Baal. So it happens that on 
every hand the substance of the people is dissipated. For this rea- 
son what if it be prohibited hereafter to take up this kind of offer- 
ing, and if the cromfir default from the duty of their office that their 
case be called before the jury, and the judge shall pronounce this 
sentence: The guilty cromfear shall forfeit his allotment. And all 
the assembly without a dissenting voice answered: Yea, yea, so 
let it be. 

s The king moreover proposed: What if the allotments of the 
cromfir of Ullad be four times nine divisions from the time of the 
cromfir and carneac who are now alive? Let their share be as the 
four times nine divisions of the soil? And all answered: Yea, be 
it so. And the words were inscribed on the rolls of the law of Ullad. 
After adjournment the assembly repaired with the king to Dunso- 
berce. Around the palace of the king were pitched the pavillions of 
the nobles, and the Feast of Ullad was celebrated after the fashion 


322 


and rule of that of Tabarta. When they had finished the book of the 
Chronicles was read publicly in the hearing of the assembled multi- 
tudes. But there was neither cromfear nor carneac present. They 
departed with shame for their homes, hurling ugly epithets at the 
king. All with the exception of the cromfir bless the king. On this 
occasion king Eocaid did not return to Teacmor Tabarta until Baal 
had run through half his house Blath (April) ). 


THE THIRD CHAPTER, FOURTH BOOK; 


On the first day of Iarsgith (July) the swift curriers went 


abroad through Errion with letters, saying: Let the kings, princes, 


chieftains, ollams, tribunes of the people, and the judges assemble: 


in Teacmor Tabarta in presence of Ardrig, on the day on which 
the fires shall flame from the tops of the Raths of Errion. A short 
time prior to the convening day, Eocaid prepared the chambers in 
Teacmor for Failbe and Roiteasac. When he had extended this in- 
vitation Failbe declined with thanks, saying: The princes and chief- 


tains of Mumain heard that I reclined under the hospitable shelter of 


Teacmor the last time I was here, and upon my return to Mumain 


they inquired if it were not possible for me hereafter to oe under 


cover of my own pavillion? 


For this reason I cannot accept your invitation. And Eocaid an- 
swered it is true O Failbe, and Eocaid also shall dwell under his. 


pavillion. Now upon the coming of the general assembly into ses- 


sion, it happened that feud broke out between Cealter, the chieftain - 
of Ailib, and Dubar, the chieftain of Oir, and this was the manner 


of the beginning of the trouble: They strove for precedence as to 


which should occupy the place nearest the king. They accepted the 
challenge that was mutual, and they set out for the ‘Field of Ta- 


barta’ down to a spot on the very banks of the Buideman (Boyne). 
There they fought most marifully hand to hand and foot to foot, 


even as though they had been practiced to the profession of cham- 
pions from their youth, at last Dubar fell back in ce his jaw 


split by the sword of Cealter. 
On the fourth day of the general assembly, I Neartan, the Ard- 


ollam, stood in the presence of the kings and princes of the land,and 
said: The mind of the ollam loves peace and contentment, but the 


am AS 0 am 3 ms mm 








323 


soul of the warrior loves battle and the clang of arms. Dubar fell, 
but there is no glory attached to such a death, there is no dignity nor 
fame accruing to a private brawl instigated by envy and disrepect. 
Is not every decendant of the hero equal? If Ardrig himself is 
elevated above his brothers is it not for the sake of the race? Every 
chieftain of Errion is equal in the high-chamber of Teacmor Ta- 
barta. Shall the chieftain take his seat arbitrarily nearer or more 
distant from the king? Shall he be the judge in his own cause? 
Let it not be said by those coming after us that there were disturb- 
ances and bloodshed because of this question. 

Therefore what if the cloth be spread for the cast of the dice to 
indicate the place to be taken by each member and by this showing 
each chieftain now and hereafter will be placed? The general as- 
sembly was pleased at Neartan’s proposal. But no sooner did the 
Ardcromfear hear that the cloth was to be spread for the cast on the 
floor of the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, than he came to 
Ardrig and said: Word hath come to Eacon that the cloth is about 
to be spread for the cast to designate the seats of the chieftains. 
Hath not the king heard from Ionar: That it was under Liafail the 
Danaan cast lots? Did not Baal give Liafail to the Gaal Scioth Iber 
when our fathers were in Gaalag? Did not Cartac bear. Liafail to 
this land? Does not the office of dice-throwing belong to Baal? 
And do not the cromfir, his servants, attend on Liafail, the messen- 
ger of Baal? Did not Ardrig receive the Asion and royal robe sit- 
ting on the heavenly Liafail from the hands of the Ardcromfear? 
What if Ardrig would propose to the general assembly: Permit 
Eacon to enter with Liafail to cast lots under it to designate the 
places of the chieftains, and collect offering for Baal, and that the 
casting for the king and for Teacmor Tabarta shall be so conducted 
for the future? Eocaid answered: My ears have heard but my 
mind dislikes the import of Eacon’s words, notwithstanding if it be 
the wish of Eacon, the king will tomorrow announce thy words to 
the general assembly ? : 

The íollowing morning Ardrig arose in the presence of the gen- 


' eral assembly and announced the words of Eacon. The king of 
4 


Gaalen arose and said: What if Ardrig would answer to the words 


t of Eacon? Ardrig spoke to the question: I made no promise to 
_ Eacon more than that I would announce his words to the general 


324 


assembly. But since it happened that every one was asking and 
expecting the judgment of Ardrig, Eocaid said: What if we hold 
a conference and take counsel? But they still insisted on hearing 
the judgment of Ardrig. Hence Eocaid spoke on the cause in this 
manner: You know that the harp belongs to the bard, that the poem 
and the conclon belong to the file, that philosophy and the education 
of the youth belong to the ollams, and that law-making is the pre- 
rogative of the people? The office of the judges is to read the text 
of the law publicly, that it is the office of the king to see that the 
laws are executed. That the care and custody of Errion belongs to 
Ardrig. Likewise it is the office of the cromfir to attend on Re (the 
moon) to show the season, and the tide, and times, to observe the 
running of Tarsnasc (stars), to guard the sacred fires, and to light 
the fires that guide the traveller in the darkness, to show hospitality 
to strangers. What has Baal to do with the casting of dice? Let 
no one infringe on another’s prerogative. When the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams and tribunes of the people were assembled here to 
legislate, they did not choose to have the king name a judge or a 
cromfear to be present? Why? For that reason Ardrig Eocaid 
saith: Permit no cromfear to enter the high-chamber of Teacmor 
forever! The general assembly confirmed the judgment. Now the 
cloth was spread and the dice cast and the secretaries of the high- 
chamber supervising. And as each member got his seat Eocaid Ard- 
rig said: What if the shields of the chieftains be hung upon the 
wall, and for the future each chieftain shall sit beneath his shield? 

And it was so ordered. | 

The resolution regarding the cromfir was written on the tract 
of the law of Errion, but the words regarding the seats of the chief- 
tains were written on the practice of Tanasteac. At this time mes- 
sengers came from Feargais to Ardrig, saying: Tatla aileth and 
begs for a sight of her beloved; early the following morning 
Eocaid called the general assembly to session, and Nearten read 
to them the message of Feargais. Forthwith the king of Mumain 


said: What if the rolls of the law and the book of Chronicles be - 


read? And it was so ordered. When finished the heralds pro- 
claimed: Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice? But 
no one answered. The general assembly adjourned, the doors of 
the high-chamber were shut. The following morning Eocaid set 


ite :

out íor Dunsoberce, but the members of the assembly, and the 
attending thousands went to the Field of Tabarta, according to 
the practice of Tanasteac. 

On the sixth day after the arrival of Ardrig at Dunsoberce 
Tatla died. Swift curriers were dispatched to Geintir to the 
brethren of Tatla with word, saying: Tatla is dead, is it your wish 
that she be interred in Ullad or in some other place? And a 
great host returned with the messengers to the king, and they 
bore the weight of Tatla with them to Geintir, and a battalion of 
the children of Ullad escorted the Firgneath. Numerous hampers 
filled with cloth, cloaks, fine linen, buckles of gold and brooches, 
and belts of wonderful workmanship were sent to the mother of 
Tatla. The head steward of the king also sent herds of cattle, 
flocks of sheep and studs of horses, and indeed all kinds of ani- 
mals which chew the cud in the. meadow-pastures of the king at 
Dunsoberce. But is not the death of Tatla, and the lamentation of 
Ullad (for she was beloved by the children of the soil) as well as 
the weeping of Geintir among the elegies of the bards in the 
writings of Naslath? Eocaid was sad, for the death of Tatla 
wrung his heart. 

He returned to Teachmor, for he said to Neartan, every foot- 
step I take and every token I see, reminds me of the chosen 
love of my heart, Tatla! After a little Failbe, the king of Mu- 
main. also came to Teachmor and sojourned for two months there. 
Together they paid frequent visits to the Mur-n-ollam, Eocaid 
and Failbe are like brothers. In those days Meirt, the king of 
Ultonnmact, sent an embassy to Teachmor, saying: Méeirt is 
the friend of the king. 

Upon hearing this the spirit of Eocaid rejoiced, and he said 
to me Neartan: This is a fortunate condition, for now no tem- 
pest that may blow from Gaalen can destroy the peace and pros- 
perity of Errion. The children of the soil are pleased and content 
in all parts of Errion. 


THE FOURTH CHAPTER, AND FOURTH BOOK. 


When Eocaid had reigned twelve years the swift curriers went _ 
forth into all Errion calling the general assembly together in 


326 


Teachmor Tabarta. When the general assembly came into ses- 
sion Ardrig arose and said: Let the heralds hang the shields on 
the clamps prepared for them so that the chieftains may sit each 
under his own shield. And it was so. 

Then Ardrig said Eocaid has words for the ears of the great 
assembly regarding the ollams and the youth. After the days of 
the first-feast I will make them manifest. When the general as- 
sembly sat again Ardrig arose and said: O most renowned no- 
bles—when indeed the sons of Gollam, and Lugad, the son Ith, 
and the mighty nobles, and the warriors won this land by the 
sword and the strong hand, did any one smite the enemy more 
than his fellow? Was it possible for the princes, or the chieftains 
to carve out a place for themselves in the land? Was it possible 
for the cromfir or the judges to conquer the Danaan? When 


the Gaal stood in the line of battle, and in the edge and destruc- 


tion of the conflict in the face of the enemy could not fear have 
clutched their hearts had not the ollams, the bards and the file 
stirred up a new spirit and a new courage in them? The kings, 
princes, chieftains, and cromfir have their allotments, even the 
Gaal has according to his tribe, but the ollams, the professors of 
science, have but little. The inspiration of the poet will be hollow, 
ind the fingers of the bards numb with the cold wind of poverty. 
ls not the land the inheritance of all the children of the land? 

So that they can draw freely from it their sustenance, as they 
can of the air and water? There is no provision for the main- 
tainance of ollaws of Mur-n-ollam of Teachmor nor for the 
youths who attend there. Is it just that the teachers who feed 
the intellect with the seed of truth, shall be left without a living 
from the soil from which they sprung at first? The intellects of 
the youth will not be uplifted, nor will the ollams encourage us 
with the stories of old, the bards will not summon us to deeds 
of glory with the entrancing music of the harps if they are down- 
cast with care and sorrow? Is it meet or right that the poet be 
compelled to sell his verse, the child of his intellect, or the bard 
the sweet music of his harp, as is said the children of Feine (Phoe- 
nicia) do, who traffic in their own blood relations? 

For these considerations I put it to you: What if another 
third be added to the allotment of the ollams and the youths of 


ene ee, FS 


TE EE: Bhia Go ma Ae IS Wa 
t ém 








327 
Mur-n-ollam of Teachmor? from the lands of Ardrig? And three 
parts to the file and the bards, according to the practice in Mu- 
main? All answered emphatically: Yea, let it be so. And the 
ollams inclined their heads in thanks. 

And Eocaid Ardrig said: Let this resolution be of the prac- 
tice of Tanastac for the future. Now the great assembly was 
on Tabarta during the month Fliucim (November) and the Games 
of Tabarta were held during the month Geimrad (December). 
Then Ardrig celebrated Games for another month even the month 
Sneacda (this was the 13th month or moon, for the ancients had 
13 moons in their year), Sneacda would be then part of Dec. and 
Jan. O'Carroll) to celebrate the dignity and glory of Tatla, his 
dead queen. When Baal entered Siocan (Jan.) the great assem- 
bly sat again in Teachmor, and the tract of the laws were unrolled 
and read, and the book of Chronicles also was read publicly. Then 
the heralds called without: Stands anyone on Tabarta demand- 
ing justice? No voice answered. After that the assembly ad- 
journed, and the gates of the highchamber were shut. Failbe, 
the king of Mumain, did not return to his kingdom but tarried 
with Eocaid in Teachmor. After a time he set out with Eocaid 
to Dunsoberce. Then the swift curriers went forth through Ullad, 
saying: Let the princes, chieftains, ollams, tribunes of the peo- 
ple, and the judges, assemble in Dunsoberce when Baal shall 
be in the second division of his house Blath (April). The mes- 
sengers also added: The king of Mumain sojourns at Dunso- 
berce. Eocaid accompanied the king of Mumain to the Mur-n- 
ollams of Druimcrit and Druimmor.  Failbe highly esteems 
philosophy and science. He related the condition of the children 
of Mumain and Gaalen with sorrow. Failbe was both surprised 
and overjoyed after his conference with the ollams and youths, he 
said: The youngest youth in the Mur-n-ollams of Ullad seem 
to me to have more learning than is to be found in Gaalen and 
Mumain. When Eocaid returned to Dunsoberce, many of the 
princes and chieftains were gathered at the palace of the king, 
and passing the time between business and pleasure. When the 
assembly came to session, Eocaid sat the king of Mumain by his 
side, in the place where Feargais ‘usually sat. Then Eocaid 
arose and said: It was my design in convoking the assembly at 


328 


this time, that my friend Failbe, the king of Mumain, might see 
the nobles oí this land. The king of Mumain covets knowledge 
that he may instruct the children of Mumain. 

Then the words of the rolls of the law were read in the hear- 
ing of the assembly, and in the hearing of the multitudes; on 
ending the heralds called out publicly: Stands anyone on the 
bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice? But no voice answered. 
Then the assembly and the multitudes adjourned to Dunsoberce. 
And a feast of nine days was celebrated with music and the dance, 
and stories of olden times; there was deer coursing and hunting, 
racing, riding, and sparring, with feats of arms and courage. 
When the feast ended the king of Mumain said: My time for 
returning to Mumain has now arrived, and as Failbe began his: 
journey to Mumain Eocaid and the princes, and chieftains, and 
a company of cavalry escorted him to the waters of the Eider. 
And Eocaid presented to Failbe four snow white mares. When 
Baal entered his house Meas (August) Eocaid set out from Dun- 
soberce, for indeed Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, and the Ard- 
cromfear, and every cromfear of Gaalen were opponents of 
Eocaid Ardrig. They strove to alienate the mind of Failbe from 
him as well. In these days Eocaid sent Ros, the prince of Ullad, 
and Cartan, one of the ollams, as a deputation to Magn, king 
of Ultonnmact, for Magn was now the king, having succeeded his 
father, who died a short time previously. These were the words 
Ros bore from Eocaid to Magn, saying: LEocaid, the king of 
Ullad, desires to pay courtly visit to Magn, the king of Ultonn- 
mact, for the purpose of mutually giving and receiving the hand 
of friendship. And Ros presented him with a superfine robe 
sparkling with gems and wonderful embroidery, and a bolt of 
cloth and two war horses and two dogs, from Ainleog and 
Scioth. Cartan likewise placed in his hands the writings of Eolus 
and the book of the Chronicles of Gaalag, but not the book of 
Chronicles of Errion, for Eocaid said to Cartan: It is not meet 
to place in the sight of the king and the great nobles of Ultonn-~- 
mact a thing that would sting their hearts with sorrow, for did 
not the glory and affluence of Iber spring from the defeat of 
the Danaan? When Magn heard the message of Eocaid he said: 
I desire to see the king of Errion. Then Eocaid set out on his 


a = ee Lh ULC oi (RE Oe —_— 


329 


visit to Ultonnmact, and he would permit no military escort, and 
only Ros and File, princes of Ullad, and four other companions, and 
each wore the closed cloak as in times of peace, for Eocaid said: 
We will demonstrate that we have the confidence of friends in the 
Danaan. 

When king Eocaid arrived at the Seanaman (Shannon) it hap- 
pened that a battalion was there awaiting his arrival, but they did 
not think it could be the king by the paucity of his attendants. 
But as soon as they understood that it was the Ardrig Errion 
they crossed the river and bore Eocaid with them to the land of 
Ultonnmact, and a mighty host was round about him, and lo as 


they marched Magn came with a select company and bore Eocaid. 


away to his palace. 


Eocaid sojourned seven days with Magn but nothing which 
transpired was written down, for Magn said: The wise scribes of 
Ullad write down, the words of the times as they pass, and con- 
tinually read them to the public in the hearing of the people? 

I beseech don’t write the words of the king or of Magn on 
this occasion. So Eocaid gave his promise to Magn that they 
would not be written. 

On his return journey, Eocaid paid a visit to Geintir to the 
relatives of Tatla, and he encouraged them. Ardrig watches over 
Errion, peace and contentment reigns over the land on every side. 
O'Carroll. 

Now in the twentieth year of the reign of Eocaid in Ullad, 
when the great assembly was in session in the highchamber of 
Teacmor Tabarta, the heralds came to the portals of the high- 
chamber calling out: Three nobles stand on Tabarta with words. 
of a message from the king of the Danaan. They ordered: Let 
them be conducted in. And they came in and stood in the pres- 
ence of the great assembly; they had their swords belted from the 
shoulder, and their spears in their left hands, one of them drew 
near the dais of the king and was on the point of speaking, when 
Ardrig arose saying: Let the heralds inquire who these men are.. 
And one of them answered: We are nobles of the Danaan, [ am 
Saorlam, a Danaan. And Ardrig said: You are weicome, but if 
the Danaan will look about them they will see no swords nor ac- 
coutrements of war except that borne by the Danaan? If Saor- 


330 


lam and his companions will place their arms in the house of the 


king as long as they stand in the presence of the law? The Da- . 


naan looked at each other and then around on the assembly, then 
they gave their swords and spears to the heralds, and Saorlam said: 
The word of the king prevails through every kingdom of Errion. 

Saorlam still stood close to the throne and began to address 
the king, therefore Ardrig arose and said kindly: The nobles of 
the Danaan will be seated among the princes of Ullad. And it 
Was SO. i 

Then Ardrig said: If it pleaseth Saorlam we- should hear 
him speak. And Saoriam began, and dwelt on the glory of the race 
and how they came over the world of waters from the east, be- 
fore the light of the sun spread over the world that is! That the 
Danaan were more than ten times twenty years in the land of 
Danba before the arrival of the children of Iber in the land. He 
telated how the cloden, the aboriginal Firgneath, dwelt in caves 
in the earth until the Danaan dragged them forth into the light. 
Now disten to the words of Magn: O Saorlam, say in the hearing 
of the king, and princes, and chieftains, of Iber, and say to them: 
We hear in Ultonnmact when the chieftains of [ber assemble that 
they take counsel for the good of Errion. Is not Ultonnmact in 
Errion? ¢ 

Does not the Danaan belong to the Errion? Is it good or just 
that words should be decreed regarding Ultonnmact without the 
Danaan being present? Let the chieftains and nobles of Ultonn- 
mact sit in the great assembly with the chieftains of Iber, so that 
they can follow and give ear to the words spoken of themselves 
and their kingdom? When Saorlam had concluded his address, 
Ardrig arose and said: What if we confer and debate that the 
Danaan shall sit, in such a manner that their ears can hear and 
their tongues relate again to their king and chieftains of their 
dominions the words of our mouth? So they held a conference. 
Then arose Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, and said: Ah, indeed, 
shall a wretched-crew (drong) galled by fines and humbled by 
tributes be permitted to declare their sentiments in the great-as- 
sembly of Errion? For though Ultonnmact is certainly a part of 
Errion, are not the Danaan forbidden to cross to this side the 
waters of the Seanaman (Shannon)? Let the Danaan stay on their 
own reservation. I oppose conferring this dignity on them! 





se ee ee ama AAA CCR : á k 








331 
Then Maol, the chieftain of Ib-Dronag, arose, saying: It is 
said in Gaalen: That Ardrig crossed over to the tents of Magn? 
Did Ardrig go to inspire the ears of the king of Ultonnmact with 
the words of Saorlam? Then Mar, the aged chieftain of Cumar, 


arose, saying: Shall the wretched crew who are under tribute 


and serf-rent be permitted to sit in the great-assembly among the 
princes of Errion? On the spot the three nobles of Ultonnmact 
leaped to their feet in the place where they were, and Saorlam said 


aloud: It is a lie, the Danaan are not your servants! It is impos- 


sible that the king could have foreseen this indignity offered us, 
when he requested us to lay aside our swords and spears? Then 


a murmur of anger passed through the assembly. Then after a 


little Ardrig arose and said: The great age of the noble chieftain 


-of Cumar, for it is so long since he has seen the words of the cove- 


nant of Magmortiomna that he must have forgotten them? 
Let there be no misgiving over the spirit of the Danaan, the 


sons of Iber swore a covenant with them, and without doubt the 
sons of Er will keep the treaty! Furthermore the covenant sworn 
by our fathers does not speak of bondage and serf-rent?’ There- 


upon, Failbe, the king of Mumain, arose, and said: Failbe, the 


son of Iber, will keep the covenant of his fathers. So the Danaan 


were pleased, and Mar remained silent. But not so Roiteasac. He 


arose and said: By virtue of your dignities is it just that the 


Danaan be given entry where the Ardcromfear of the Gaal Scioth 
Iber is prohibited ? 

Then Eocaid Ardrig spoke on the question: Eocaid did indeed 
proceed across the waters of the Seanaman by the wish of Magn 


_ .and for the peace of Errion and the profit of Ultonnmact. There 


was no other motive guiding his footsteps. He did not conceive 
the thoughts spoken by Saorlam in the highchamber here, but it 
is most pleasing to him that king Magn thought of them! Cobtac, 


the prince of Ib-Lugad, thought Eocaid had finished his speech so 


he stood and Eocaid sat down. And Cobtac said: What if the 


chieftains of Ultonnmact sit in the highchamber of Teacmor be- 


hind the throne so that they can hear the words concerning Errion 
and Ultonnmact. But it shall be unlawful for them to speak or to 
raise the hand in a vote on any question? And as Cobtac sat many 


voices called for the opinion of Ardrig, for this reason Ardrig arose 


332 


and said: Three divisions of this land, the sons of Gollam con- 
quered from the Danaan, who now live on their own division ac- . 
cording to the testament of the covenant. Now in those days they 
come to us, saying: Permit us to sit with you, do not we belong to . 
your Errion? And if you say that the Danaan and the children of 
Iber are two different races, yet you cannot deny that Uitonnmact 
belongs to Errion? Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, said: Don’t . 
let in the Danaan, do they not pay serf-rent, or is it right for the . 
Danaan to come in where the Ardcromfear is forbidden? The 
prince of Ith says: Let the Danaan sit but let thenr not speak or . 
show his hand. Now for his own part Ardrig says: Let the 
king and eight of the chieftains of the Danaan sit behind the throne, 
and let the eight chieftains be chosen according to the practice of . 
their kingdom. Let them sit so that their ears can hear and their | 
eyes can see him uttering words of Errion their Banba, and also . 
let them speak and raise their hands on every question. If per- . 
chance their words be prudent ours will be the profit, if vain we . 
can let them pass? Are your hearts hardened and your ears deaf 
to the voice of friendship? Or is our courage and valor so fallen . 
that we fear without reason? Now then many of the princes and . 
chieftains of Gaalen demanded to know: Where the Danaan . 
should sit? But Aongais (Aeneas), the brother of Roiteasac, king . 
of Gaalen, answered in mockery: What if Magn sit on the throne 
of the king of Ullad? The words were uttered in scorn, but Ard- . 
rid arose and said: Certainly, whenever it chances that a prince of . 
Er sits Ardrig, let it be even as the prince Aongais proposes, for . 
it is better so than turn the Danaan away when he comes seeking 
friendship and peace? As soon as Ardrig ascertained that the . 
majority was for sitting the Danaan behind the throne, he antici- . 
pated them and said: What if the king and eight chieftains of the 
Danaan sit behind the throne in the general assembly of Errion? . 
And they shall speak and raise the hand on every question? And . 
it was so decreed. And the words were written on the book of the . 
Chronicles. | 

The three Danaans dwelt in the house of the king until they . 
returned to the land of their dwelling, and the general assembly . 
took an adjournment for nine days to give the Danaan messen- . 
gers time to return to Tabarta, but this desirable event did not ; 





333 


take place, for Magn, their king, died before Saorlam reached UI- 
tonnmact. When the general assembly met after the nine days ad- 
journment, Ardrig arose and said: Has any one any question to 
propose to the assembly? All were silent. Hence the rolls of the 
laws and the book of the Chronicles were read. And the heralds 
called aloud: Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding his rights? 
No one answered, and so the general assembly adjourned. And 
the portals of the highchamber were closed and sealed. Then they 
began the month of Games on the “Field of Tabarta” and Eocaid 
Ardrig sat giving judgment of the prizes. 





In those days there was a fierce struggle in Ultonnmact between 
the brothers and the sons of Meirt for the succession to the crown. 
It is related that a whisper went abroad in that land: That Form 
and Gost, the brothers of Meirt, were subservient to Ardrig, for 
this reason Meirt, the son of Meirt, was chosen king in Ultonn- 
mact. As soon as the election was ended Ardrig sent Fionn, a 
chieftain of Ullad with letters to Meirt saying: There are words 
written on the book of Chronicles concerning the king and the 
chieftains of Ultonnmact? But in truth king Meirt looked askance 
at Fionn and his message, and Fionn set out without awaiting 
the order of his going, for Teacmor. At this time Eocaid set out 
for Dunsoberce, and he married Ameril, the daughter of Ros prince 
of Ullad. All Ullad gathered around Dunsoberce the time of the 
wedding of Eocaid and Ameril. There was pride and cheer in the 
hearts of the children of the land. Eocaid dwelt in Dunsoberce 
and he made a royal progress through all the land of Ullad, but 
the king himself furnished silver (money) and paid all the expenses 
incurred. In the twenty-second year of the reign of Eocaid the 
assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine, and the words of 
the laws of Ullad, and the practice of Tanasteac, and the book of 
Chronicles were read. And upon finishing the heralds called out 
with a mighty voice: Stands any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad 
demanding justice? And they heard a voice saying: : Torad who 
is of the Gaal of Magneac desires to stand in the presence of: the 
king. And Torad was summoned into the presence, he was an old 
man, indeed very aged, he told how Seal, the judge of Magneac, 
read the law against him without his knowledge, would not the 


334 


king now read the words of judgment against Seal? And as the 
judge of Dunsoberce was about to begin to read the words, Eocaid 
arose and said: Persons will always do judgment in their own 
case and then make outcry against others for doing the same. 
What if Seal has done unjustly, has Torad learned wisdom? Is 
it not wonderful that Morda has also transgressed? Torad com- 
plains that Seal read the words of the law without he being present. 
But I ask is Seal present? Notwithstanding Morda is preparing 
to do what Seal is accused of having done. Let Morda send a 
currier to the residence of Seal saying: Let Seal come to the 
Bruiteine of Ullad in the presence of the assembly without delay, 
“in order that he may answer to the indictment which Torad makes. 
against him. With that Eocaid said this is not a light affair, let 
the assembly stay in Dunsoberce until Seal appears. And when 
Seal came Torad stood and repeated the charge. And Eocaid 
commanded: Let Seal answer. And Seal answered, saying: I 
am guilty of the charge. Then Eocaid said: It is written on the 
rolls of the law: O man be merciful—. What if the guilt of Seal 
be forgiven, since he has made acknowledgement of it? And the 
entire assembly confirmed it, saying: Yea be it so be it so. And . 
Eocaid inquired: How much didst lose O Torad? Torad an- 
swered: Two ewes and a measure of Flour. Eocaid ordered: 
Let the chieftain of Magneac hear this case in the presence of 
Torad, and let justice be done. FEocaid likewise said: There is 
not sufficient written on the roll of the laws regarding this kind 
of a deed, what if we amend it in this manner? Let every tongue 
be silent in presence of the judge, so long as the person against 
whom the indictment stands is absent? If the judge transgresses. 
let him sit no more on the chair of judgment? And the whole: 
assembly concurred, saying: Yea, be it so. Then the words of the 
law as well as the admendment were read in the hearing of the 
assembly, and they adjourned with Eocaid to Dunsoberce. And 
the mighty boards of the feast were prepared, and the ollams and. 
all the youths of Mur-n-ollam of Dunsoberce, three thousand five 
hundred and twelve, were invited, and Fionn, the son of Eocaid,. 
sat among the ollams. Stories of ancient times were heard, and ~ 
the sweet music of the harps, and then the “Feast of Ullad of 
mighty deeds’ was begun. When they had completed the days. 














335 
of the games, the book of Chronicles was read in the hearing of the 
multitudes, after which Eocaid set out for Teacmor Tabarta. Now 
when Baal was in the second division of his house Tionscnad, and 
in the fourth night of the second division, swift curriers from 
Mumain, saying: Failbe, the king, lieth on a bed of sickness. 
King Eocaid said to me: O Neartan if the voice of a friend be 
sweet to the well how much more so to the ailing? The following 
morning king Eocaid and Blath, the son of Ardfear, and I Neartan 
set out for the tents of Failbe, the king of Mumain. For a short 
time Failbe seemed improved after having seen Eocaid, the king, 
but it was only a seeming recovery. 
| Eocaid’s heart was sad, he waited and attended on Failbe with- 
- out cessation, but nothing could free Failbe from the grip of the 
_ fever, and on the tenth day he died under the eyes of Eocaid, after 
a reign of fourteen years. Eocaid stayed in the tents of Failbe 
" in Mumain until he had made the carn of his sepulture. But none 
of the princes nor chieftains of Mumain came into his presence, for 
_he said te me: O Neartan the mind of the bard is not as light as 
_ they who are rivals and are jealous of each other. And when they 
_ bore forth the weight of Failbe, Eocaid marched beside, and in- 
_ toned the death-song and he spoke of Failbe’s gentle spirit, and 
of his wisdom and of his true friendship. Many the harp of 
. Mumain, as well as the vuices.cí the children of the land sang 
forth the sad strain. When he sealed the door of the house of dark- 
hess (sepulchre) with the great flag, Eocaid said: Aloud: Mav 
the spirit of Failbe be immortal in the children of Mumain forever ! 
And Eocaid did not tarry further there, but set out even from the 
midst of the multitudes surrounding the carn, for Teacmor Tabarta. 
_Iber, the son of Noid was elected king in Mumain, and he married 
Mina, the daughter of Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen. Anxiety 
perched upon the heart of Eocaid for the sake of Errion, for Iber, 
the king of Mumain, and Roiteasac, the king of Gaalen, were as 
one, and Meirt departed from the path of his fathers, and his mind 
_brooded evil against the Ardrig of Errion. Eocaid said: O near- 
tan the friendship of Iber and Roiteasac, and the enmity of Meirt 
gathers like a storm, cloud over Errion. If the tempest bursts, 
and the deluge falls, how shall the land be saved? What is the 
destruction of wind and rain compared to the destruction by man, 


E m- 


336 


they are like the fire that consumes all? The deadly treachery of 
the cromfir of Gaalen and the sportful levity of the bards of Mumain. 
will not permit Errion to repose long in peace. If it were possible 
to establish schools in Gaalen and in Mumain, then truth would 
prevail. If Meirt turns with Iber and Roiteasac against Ullad, 
what if Eocaid say to them: O sons of Gollam stay your arms, 
do not lift them against Errion, and that they may slay each other, 
Eocaid will resign to them the throne, and reside in Ullad. But 
from that moment how long will the friendship of Iber and Roit- 
easac last? One of them will quickly court the assistance of the 
Danaan, so to gain the upperhand of the other? What if Ullad 
enjoys peace, is not Gaalen and Mumain in Errion? Errion will 
be torn asunder. Will it be said in future times: That I was—? 
© Neartan speak the truth or be silent, will it not be said: that 
the shepherd fled deserting his flocks and herds to danger, and the 
devouring of their very bones? In the face of such conduct where 
would be the glory of Eocaid, the Ardrig, O Neartan answer me 
truthfully. And I said: Let Eocaid Ardrig stand by his charge 
to the last! 

The king said: When the great assembly shall convene on 
Tabarta, O Failbe, O Failbe, Eocaid will bewail thy loss, for he 
fears that all Errion will have cause to mourn thy death! Eocaid . 
marched away to Ullad, and he summoned the assembly to con-. 
~yene on the Bruiteine of Ullad. O'Carroll. 3 

When the princes, chieftains, ollams and the tribunes of the 
people stood around the king, Eocaid arose and said: Though 
Eocaid loves peace and the quiet that follows in its train, others, 
however, desire warfare and destruction. It is certain that the. 
mind of Roiteasac is hostile to the children of Er. —Iber recalls 
and remembers the death of Noid, his Father, as well as the mutual 
friendship of Eocaid and Failbe. 

Eocaid knoweth not the cause of Meirt’s defection from Ullad. 
What availeth if my soul abhors warfare and battle? Must not 
Ullad be prepared, if war be forced upon her? Therefore let each 
of the nine princes call out the nine chieftains under him, and each 
chieftain call out the nine tribunes under him, and each tribune 
call out the arm-bearing men of his tribe. Let the nine comlanns 
of Ullad be prepared, let them ‘march far and near over vallies and 


337 
i mountains as they run in the chase, so accustoming themselves to 
the rough ways of war. 
9 He also said: Relate to me the word that happened in Mag- 
- neac. Then stood Doib, the chieftain of Magneac, saying: The 
i indictment oí Torad against Seal, the judge, is not true. Torad’s 
_ wife gave the flour to her brother's children, who were lying sick, 
_ but the flock of sheep were found astray. On this account the king 
_ said: It behooveth the judges to learn from this instance the great 
_ danger there exists in pronouncing judgment and penalty too pre- 
: cipitously. And raising his voice he said: Beíore your adjourn- 
ment I have words to propose: If an individual murder a person 
it is impossible to restore the life destroyed, it is not just that the 
i perpetrator reeking with human blood should live, notwithstand- 
_ ing there is no word in the tract of the law concerning the disposal 
of the murderer. What if the law be amended with these words? 
If an individual murder a person let his name be cited before 
the judge when he sits in his own townsland, and in the assembly 
_ of his kindred people, and if the felon does not come forth, let hands 
be laid upon him, and be taken in presence of the judge by force 
_ so that he may make answer for his crime? And all answered: 
_ Yea, so let it be. And the words were spread on the tract of the 
' laws. The king ordered: Let Neartan and the ollams be to- 
_ morrow at the king’s house in Dunsoberce, let them bring with 
4 them the book of Chronicles, together with the admendment to the 
_ laws, that they may read them in your hearing, according to the 
acts of Eocaid, the high-king of Errion. 
_ . After this the heralds called with a loud voice: Stands any 
_ one on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice? No one an- 
_ swered. The multitude set out for Dunsoberce. The following day 
_ the book of Chronicles, the tract of the law and the new admend- 
_ ment were read publicly. Then the princes and nobles departed for 
_ the tents aí their dwellings to levy together the Gaal of military 
_ age and drill the collanns. They marched through the length of 
_ Ullad, according to the custom of the pursuit. Eocaid’s mind was 
_ grieved. Now in these days swift messengers went out through 
_ the length of Errion with letters. These were the words of their 
_ contents: O most high nobles, let the kings and princes, the chief- 
_ tains and the ollams, the tribunes and the judges, as well as the 





338 

king of Ultonnmact and eight of his nobles be assembled in the 
presence of Ardrig in Teacmor Tabarta, when the fires shall blaze 
forth over the Raths of Errion. On the appointed day the doors 
of Tcacmor Tabarta were opened, and Ardrig gave his right-hand 
to Meirt and escorted him to the chair ready for the king of 
Ultonnmact. The assembly was amazed for up to that meeting 
there was a great solid back enclosing the throne, lo now, it was 
all cut away so that the king and nobles of Ultonnmact were in 
full view and hearing, but indeed neither Meirt nor the Danaan: 
understood the cause of the surprise then. When they came into 
session Ardrig arose saying: O most free and mighty nobles what 
though we have deliberated for a long time on the passage of laws, 
nevertheless as time elapses we will find it necessary to fasten on 
new words. The last time we were here we made no provision for 
the ollams of Errion, although there are ollams appointed for every 
division of Errion, yet little benefit so far has accrued to the youth 
of Gaalen and Mumain. 

Therefore, what if we take council to found Mur-n-ollams at 
the first session of the general assembly? They then adjourned,. 
and the great feast of Tabarta was ready by rule and practice, and 
the great contest in the Games for nine days. At table they seated 
Meirt at his right hand, and Eocaid did honor to him, and the re- 
tinue of waiters with both eye and hand attended the nobles of 
Ultonnmact. 


Now it happened after imbibing too deeply, that the blood of 


Iber became fired with drunkeness, and his tongue rambled, talk- 
ing of the pursuit and the battle, and the glory and dignity of the 
warrior, always aiming his speech against Ardrig. When Eocaid 


inquired: Why should the Gaal Scioth go to war? Where was the . 


enemy? They would not begin a fratricidal strife. Are not the 
Danaan like our brothers? Still Iber talked of the battle. Then 
Ardrig said: My ears have heard the music and the sweetness of 
the harps of Mumain. It surprises me that the ear of Iber so ac- 
customed to their tones, should take kindly to the clangor and 
shrieks of war? Iber became more impudent, saying: By Baal, 


who would have thought that Ardrig ever heard the roar of battle? ~ 


Eocaid was mild and gentle, and he stretched forth his hand 
to Iber, saying: O Iber, most noble ruler, speak no more save 


a AM ee —-———ws. * 





339 


what is worthy? But as Iber continued to wag his tongue scorn- 
fully, Ardrig arose and went forth, and fearing that all around the 
extensive board might not hear, Iber the king of Mumain shouted 
aloud: O Free children, is it not wonderful that Eocaid, the son 
of Er, can walk, the weight of his wisdom is so surpassing great? 
' Without doubt Ardrig was grieved, for he said to me: O Neartan 
write these things on the book of Chronicles of Errion, since it 
manifests the mind and desires of Iber, king of Mumain. Now the 
general assembly convened in the high chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta, and arising Ardrig said: Many beneficial results have 
come from the schools of Ullad, even as has sprung from Mur-n- 
ollam Teacmor in this place. Most high nobles, is not the glory 
of man his intellect, without it he is little better than the beast? 
Eolus, our great ancestor, said: The ship needs the pilot to steer 
its prow through the vast waves and from the rocks which raise 
their hips through the waters? As the pilot is to the ship, so is the 
ollam to the youth. Therefore, what if schools be established in 
Mumain and in Gaalen, and shares be apportioned in plenty to 
support in a becoming manner both the youths and the ollams? 
Before Ardrig took his seat a mumur ran far and near through the 
general assembly, and Nid, the chieftain of Dealb, arose saying: 
Shall the wisdom of our father’s pass like mist? They ordered: 
Do not build permanent houses as they do in Aomag (Hemath) 
for fear you breed covetousness in the neighboring nations, and 
they come and take your possessions. Dwell in your tents Oh 
children of Iber! Will the mighty children of Iber desert the ways 
of their fathers! Iber, the king of Mumain, rising said: Fellow 
princes, alas, it is true that Soberce and Ciernma, the sons of Er, 
founded forts, fortified with walls, and has not Ardrig, their de- 
scendant, built this Teacmor in which we are assembled, as well 
as Mur-n-ollam contiguous? Likewise he has builded three Mur- 
n-ollams in Ullad, his proper kingdom as he says, to strengthen 
the spirit of the youth, but renowned high-princes it is my opinion 
that the spirit of the youths is extinguished when they are thus 
indolently housed. By our head say I let Eocaid’s solicitude be 
confined to the kingdom of Ullad? Is it your pleasure that Mur- 
n-ollam be razed to the ground? Immediately Strath, one of the 
ollams of Ullad arose and began to speak, when Erac, the chief- : 


340 


tain of Eiscar, arose saying: O king shall the ollams speak before 
the nobles of the land? Ardrig answered: Read in your statutes 
the rules governing acts and procedures in the high-chamber. And 
at was so. Then Ardrig said: Oh no, listen now to the words of 
Strath. This what Strath said: What knowledge or learning will 
a person acquire without instruction? It is man alone of all living 
creatures who draws benefit from the wisdom of his ancestors. 
Therefore, this is my proposition: Can any one believe that igno- 
rance is preferable to wisdom? No voice answered, and Iber, the 
king, and Nid remained silent. But indeed Eocaid spoke no more 
of the schools that session. Now it was easy to perceive that Iber 
and Roiteasac, aye even Meirt, were hostile to Ardrig. 

Notwithstanding Eocaid held to the straight path for the good 
of Errion. On the day previous to the adjournment of the general 
assembly, the words of the tract of the laws were read publicly and 
they appeared good and honorable. No one stood on Tabarta de- 
manding justice. Having completed their transactions the general 
assembly went forth, and the great portals of the high-chamber 
were closed. Ardrig dwelt on Tabarta. 


THE THIRD CHAPTER. 


At this time Baal was in his house Blath (April). When Ardrig 
set out for Dunsoberce. He made a royal progress through Ullad, 
spending three days in each chieftaincy, whether far or near, in- 


specting the evolutions and tactics of the Gaal: How they bent the 


bow, cast with the sling, hurled the javelin, and leveled their spears, 
and formed comlann. He praised their proficiency, for they ma- 
nouvered with great perfection. After this he sent Ros to Teac- 
mor Tabarta, requesting that he give care to Mur-n-ollam. At this 
same time word came from partisans of Failbe in Mumain, saying: 
Errion will blaze from the friendship of Iber and Meirt, Mumain 


_ and Ultonnmact are as one, you wouldn't suppose the Seanaman 


(Shannon) flowed betweeen. It would be profitable if the children 
of Er would extinguish that fire before it consumes Errion afar 
and near. 

For this reason Eocaid wrote letters to Ogard, the chieftain 
of Sithdruim, saying: It shall be well most noble sir if Ogard send 








341 


word of the doings of Iber and Meirt to Ros at Teacmor Tabarta, 

but let Ogard be well assured before he forwards any news good. 
or bad. All through life Ogard was a devoted friend of Failbe,,. 
hence the conduct of Iber grieved him. Now Ogard had two brave: 
fearless friends. They married two maiden sisters in the chieftaincy’ 
of Oir, and their mother was foster mother to Feal, the first-born: 
of the chieftain of Oir, now it so happened that Feal was the “go- 
between” (fearidir) of Iber and Meirt. One day as Feal set out 

for Ultonnmact with a secret word from Iber, Breas and Cathluan: 
chanced to accompany him, and on returning to their home, it: 
happened that they joined Ogard in the hunt on a certain day when 
he called the Gaal together, and as they waited apart for the heat- 
ing of the stones, they began joking and Breas said: By my word 

many moons will not change until the stags and roes of Mumain 
will have rest. Ogard asked what he meant? Breas told, what. he: 
heard in Ultonnmact. And Cathluan bore witness and confirmed. 
the words, then Ogard said to Breas and Cathluan: Yow were 
always friends to me and my race, do not return home until you 
go to Teacmor Tabarta, and bring word to Ros, the prince of Ullad,, 
' who dwells there, and then come back to the tents of Ogard im 
Sithdruim. The young men ate and drank and set out on their 

journey, and when they came to Teacmor Tabarta they told the 

word to Ros, and Ros invited Maol, of the ollams of Mur-n-ollam, ' 
to come to him, and Ros entertained Breas and Cathluan hospit- 

ably. He presented them each a bow and quiver of arrows, and a 

sword with a gold hilt, and they returned to their own country. 

Ros wrote letters without delay to Eocaid, relating the secret com- 

pact, adding: The marshalled comlanns of Mumain and Ultonn- 

mact will be on Tabarta to crown Iber Ardrig by force of armis,.. 
the day that Baal will enter the house of his sacred fire (May), now’ 
Baal had not yet entered the house Cruinnugad (September). 

Then Eocaid called the chieftains and tribunes of the people irs: 
turn to Dunsoberce, and he conferred personally with each, say— 
ing: Awaken the Gaal and drill them daily as if in active service, 
for war is a sharp and galling burden. Let the minstrels and the: 
poets strike the march and the war-song, let Ullad, so gentle im 
peace, be brave and terrible in war! Eocaid remained in Ullad 
preparing to parry the blow that threatened Errion. The king 


342 


,changed the position of the collanns that had come down from 
antiquity. The king ordered that hereafter the princes of Er fight 
in the front of the battle, as a body guard to the king, but that each 
chieftain should be the ceancollann of the hosts levied in his own 
chieftaincy, and each tribune the captain of the company taken 
from his own tribe. The ignorant often misconstrue gentleness as 
cowardice. Now swift curriers went far and near through Errion, 


saying: O free nobles the king who was chosen to guard over Er- 
rion will pronounce words which will put some to the blush, make 
others fear and surprise all, until that hour let peace rest on Ta- 
barta. 

The great feast of Tabarta was prepared, according to custom, 
and on the field of contest there were games greater than ever 
before, though there was anxiety and trouble in Eocaid’s heart, 
still he concealed them as well as he could. 

When the great portals were opened and the general assembly 
sat in the high-chamber, Ardrig arose, saying: O kings and free 
children most noble, if it please you I ask: Hath not Maol words 
interesting to the ears of Errion? And Maol, a member of the 
ollams, arose and said: The amount that came to the ears of Maol 
that pertains to Errion is soon said. 

What if a son of the hero covenant with the Danaan to con- 
spire to shed the blood of the Gaal and desolate the face of the 
land? If Iber, the king of Mumain, has not done this evil, then a 
malicious indictment has been charged against him, and if Meirt, 
king of Ultonnmact, did not promise co-operation with him, evil 
tongues are slandering his good name? 

Immediately Iber arose angrily, saying: If Iber desires the 
friendship of Meirt does it worry you? Can it be possible that 
it was on this account we were summoned unseasonably to the 
brow of Tabarta? Is not the ear of the gentle Ardrig too open 
when it drinks in poison so subtle? Therefore Maol arose a second 
time, saying: I will speak more explicitly: Did not Iber conspire 
with Meirt in this wise? O Meirt assist Iber to get the crown 
of the Ardrig of Errion, and as thy reward Ultonnmact will be 
free from tribute and rents while Baal, Re, and Tarsnasc, exist and 
a son of Iber is on the throne? And did not Meirt give answer: 
By the most hight gods, O Iber, but thy conversation pleases me, 

















343 

Meirt will co-operate even as thou sayest! If these things be not 
so, then the indictment of Breas and Cathluan is false. That they 
spoke these words in the hearing of Maol, Maol now invokes Baal, 
Re, and Tarsnasc, to»witness. Then Maol said: Let Breas and 
Cathluan now be called in to the presence, They stood in the pres- 
ence of the general assembly, and the chief secretary repeated the 
_ words of Breas and Cathluan in the presencee of Maol, Breas and 
Cathluan. Ardrig arose and said: Let Suil, one of the judges, 
conduct the cause. Suil arose and said: Breas and Cathluan have 
heard the words of Maol, while Iber, the king of Mumain, and 
Meirt, the king of Ultonnmact, were present and listening. What - 
doth Breas and Cathluan say? Breas and Cathluan turned their 
faces toward the east and raising up their hands they called upon 
Baal, Re, and Tarsnasc, and indeed Cathluan invoked the spirit 
of his father, and both swore: That they went in company of Feal, 
the son of the chieftain of Oir, to the tents of the king of Ultonn- 
mact, and that Feal spoke to Meirt words from Iber, king of Mu- 
main, the same which Maol hath now repeated: O Meirt render 
Iber assistance to take the sceptre of high-king and Ultonnmact 
will be free from rent and tribute forever. And that Meirt answered 
Feal: Let it be so. 

Then Ardrig arose and said: O most high nobles indeed these 
are the words of Feal, but what are the words which the witnesses 
heard from the mouth of Iber himself? They answered: We 
heard no word whatsoever. Then arose Ros, the prince of Ullad, 
saying: What if Feal be summoned? Ardrig answered: There 
is no doubt but that both Iber and Meirt will speak the truth re- 
garding the words which they used. What if Iber and Meirt speak? 
Then Eocaid said: Since this cause pertains to the Ardrig him- 
self, and since the law says: Let no man be a judge in his own 
cause, let the general assembly take council. Ardrig unbuckled 
the royal robe from his shoulders and took the Asion from his brow . 
and departed from the high-chamber and rode to the Mur-n-ollam, 
and remained there. As he returned to the king’s pavillion the 
general assembly was still in session, and there was an abundance 
of confusion and defiant talk in the high-chamber, for Iber said 
' haughtily: When the throne of Ardrig is vacant has not the son 
Of Iber as good a right to occupy it as any mortal living? But he 


344 


did not confess to the words of Feal. After the speech of Iber, 
Meirt, the king of Ultonnmact, advanced from behind the throne, 
and this said he: O high princes and nobles of Errion, on a certain 
day Iber came to the tents of Meirt, saying: O Meirt of mighty 
exploits assist Iber to take the throne of Errion and Ultonnmact 
will be forever free. Meirt answered to Iber: Be it so. From 
time to time Feal came to Ultonnmact with words similar to Iber’s 
words. At last Feal spoke in the hearing of these men as from 
the mouth of Iber himself: Let the army of Ultonnmact be ready 
to march with the comlanns of Mumain, when Baal shall occupy 
his house Baalteine (May). After that Eocaid will have plenty time 
to preside over his philosophy in the Murn-ollams. For any 
clangor save the conference of the ollams disturbs Ardrig. Now 
the king was in his pavillion on Tabarta, and as soon as Meirt con- 
cluded his attestation, Neartan arose and said: What if Ardrig 
be called to the throne? The majority answered: Yes let him be 
recalled. The heralds went forth and conducted Eocaid back and 
he sat again on the throne, and he placed the Asion on his head. 
and the royal robe on his shoulders and took the sceptre in his 
right hand.. Then Suil, the judge, repeated the words of Meirt and 
Iber. And Ardrig asked: What saith Roitheasac, king of Gaalen ? 
But indeed Roiteasac remained silent. Then arose Miolis, the 
chieftain of Ardtan, saying: What if the further reign of Iber in 
Mumain be terminated? And what if the tribute and high rent of 
Ultonnmact be tripled, and the houseless Danaan boors be kept 
the yonder side the Seanaman (Shannon) for ever? They spoke 
and counterspoke without avail, until the general assembly arose 


as one man, and with one voice sought: If Ardrig would speak? . 


Then Ardrig arose and said: O free nobles of this assembly Iber 
has not this day confessed to the words of Feal, it is possible that 
Feal did not rightly understand the meaning and intent of Iber? 
To what profit is it that Meirt has manifested the wish of Iber, I 
declare it would be good to me if the words would be scattered 
to the winds, to be remembered no more, and I prophesy that [ber 
will not forget himself again? At that Ardrig descended from the 
throne and came to where Iber was, saying: The sons of Iber and 
Er, the children of the hero are brothers, is it meet that there should 
be strife between us or our children, or our children’s children?

Let us travel the road of glory and wisdom for the sake of Er- 
rion! Ardrig gave the hand of friendship to Iber, and Iber pressed 
the hand of Eocaid to his heart. And Iber, the king of Mumain, 
could not repress the tears his heart was so full. Upon returning 
to the throne Ardrig said: Who ever at any time has paid tribute 
and rent that would not free himself if he could? By this reason- 
ing Meirt has done no evil. 

The king of Ultonnmact and his eight nobles will come accord- 
ing to custom, it is my opinion that the men of Errion are not 
afraid to speak their counsel and their beliefs in the hearing of the 
Danaan? Let the words of Breas and Cathluan be scattered to 
the winds, our thanks alone remaining for them, and if Feal was in 
our presence we would ask his friendship. I have no more to say. 

After these things occurred, Eocaid came down from.the throne, 
going to the place of the chair of the king of Ullad, and he said: 
Now the throne of Ardrig is vacant. Let the kings, princes, and 
nobles, according to the ways of peace and rule manifest their choice 
to sit on the throne of the Ardrig. 

Then quickly arose Iber and Roiteasac, and they came to the 
place of the king of Ullad, and Iber took his right hand and 
Roiteasac his left and Meirt with them, they conducted him to the 
throne of the Ardrig. Iber stood near him and said: O Eocaid, 
most renowned son of Fiaca, from Er, the son of the hero, mayest 
thou long live Ardrig for the glory of Errion, and the joy and pro- 
fit of the Gaal! And as Iber finished, the whole assembly arose and 
stretching forth their hands, bowed to Eocaid. Maol said: Truth, 
justice and wisdom abides in all the ways of Eocaid. And treminat- 
ing the session, according to custom, the general assembly ad- 
journed, and the portals of the high-chamber were closed. 

On this occasion during the nine days Eocaid celebrated the 
great feast of Tabarta with special and princely magnificence, and 
from his own treasure he added a third in money of current use. 
Peace was on every side. Great was the joy of Eocaid’s heart, and 
he said to Neartan: Write all these things on the book of Chroni- 
cles of Ullad, as well as on the book of Chronicles of Errion. 
Eocaid set out for Dunsoberce. When Baal came to his house 
' Blath (April) Eocaid returned to Teacmor Tabarta. Fionn, his 
first-born, was in his company. This was Fionn, the son of Tatla, 


346 


from Fodla, of the aboriginal Firgneath of Geintir, he was a child 
with yellow hair and a complexion most fair, for this reason he 
took the name Fionn. 

He was called Fionn Mac Cumail (Fionn, the son of the bond- 
woman). For the Gaal Scioth of Iber called Tatla Cumal (the 
bondwoman) in contempt for her and her offspring, because she 
' was from Geintir). Fionn was like his father in his tastes and as- 
pirations. At this juncture Eocaid wrote letters to Iber, king of 
Mumain, saying: Fionn, the son of Eocaid, desires to pay a visit 
to the court of Iber, king of Mumain, te form his acquaintance, 
as well as that of the princes of the race, and the nobles of the realm. 
Aongais and Lore, princes of Iber and the chief nobles of Mumain, 
with a company of knights, came to Tabarta with letters, saying: 
Health and life to you O high-king, Iber sends a retinue of his 
kindred to accompany Fionn on his progress to the tents of Iber, 
king of Mumain. Before Fionn set forth on this journey Eocaid 
said to him in the hearing of Neartan: O son permit no one to be- 
come too familiar with you, for it will be painful when you will be 
obliged to afterwards have to keep them more distant. Keep 
also in your memory that every one is possessed of two eyes, two 
-. ears, two hands, two nostrils; ten fingers on his hands and ten toes 
on his feet, but only one tongue, as a warning: That he should 
see hear and touch ten times more than he speaks. In the midst 
of frolic and fun, be not you gloomy. O Fionn know that in 
Mumain they esteem fun, dancing, song, music, hunting and deep 
drinking, while thou art sojourning in Mumain be like te them in 
all feats, but the last, O son, beware of the intoxicating d-ink, it 
degrades the aspiration, and is the enemy of the iritcllect. Fionn 
set forth on his travels to Mumain. 


THE FOURTH CHAPTER. 


Peace and contentment is over all Errion. When the general 
assembly sat in session in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, 
Ardrig arose and said: As soon as the great feast is terminated, 
and the contest of exploits on the field, Ardrig has a question to 
place before the assembly concerning him against whom the in- 


iú Cee ee 














347 
dictment is made, so that if it meet your approval it may be writ- 
ten on the tract of the laws of Errion? 

Before Ardrig had completed his speech the heralds came into 
the high-chamber announcing: Nine great nobles of the Feine 
(Phoenicians) stand on Tabarta seeking leave to come into the 
presence of the high-king and the assembly? Ardrig said: Con- 
duct them in. And they entered brilliant with silks and gems arid 
gold, and after bowing low to Ardrig and saluting the assembly 
round, Saorcon enquired if permission to speak could be granted to 
them? : 

After obtaining leave, Bronnbaal, one of the nine, stood and 
said: O high-king of Errion and illustrious assembly of great re- 
nown, for indeed the fame of your brave deeds is scattered from 
division to division of the world! We sail our fleets or scull with 
mighty oar over sea and ocean, we have leave and welcome to every 
region, even to Egypt that is closed to all the world, but us alone. 
Now since we are of the race Gaal Scioth Iber, Naoimadeis, 
Ogageis, is it not a hard condition if we get not, the breaking of 
bread, and a welcome from our brothers? The very bosom of our 
bowels were stirred with joy, when we heard your great fame and 
glory, your bravery and heroism! We have come therefore to 
prove if the wonderful story of your great fame be true. Through 
every division of the world, in which they are, the Gaal Scioth Iber, 
Naoimadeis, Ogageis are full strong, fearless, and victorious in 
battle. They do not fear the champions of the world, therefore we 
stand in the presence of you our brethren, to display to you, if so 
be your will the “prizes for exploits,” which we have won in con- 
tests by our enterprise and bravery. Our prizes and goods freight 
a hundred ships between heavy sail and light-oared, our fleet now 
tides at anchor in Inbior Colba. Among our rare treasures we have 
crowns of gold, gold-hilted wide bladed swords, altars, golden tri- 
pods, such as we won at Olympia, Cholchis, and Baalbeg in the 
eastern world, we have also great stores of gems, silks and purples 
more than the ransom of a division of the world, we have arms of 
superb make, coats of steels and armour, and helmets of red gold, 
and tools and trappings, and wares beyond all counting. And O 
brothers by your leave, our retainers will display these treasures 
during the Games, and we will prove our bravery in contest with 


348 


your champions on the field of exploits, and may Baal crown the 
most worthy! Now when Bronnbaal had finished, Feadh, the son 
of Cealtar, chieftain of Earb, arose and said: What if we grant 
permission to the Feine as Bronnbaal, the prince, requests? And 
it was so. 
When the general assembly sat the second session in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, Ardrig arose and said: O kings 
and free nobles it came to pass in Ullad, and may happen again 
through Errion, that the judge read the sentence of the law against 
the indicted in his absence. Therefore, what if every-tongue be 
silent in presence of the judge, until the indicted one be present, 
and if a judge transgress this practice do not suffer him to occupy 
the seat of judgment again? All answered: Let it be so, let it 
be so. i / 
Ardrig said: What if a person be killed with malice, and the 
name of the culprit indicted for murder be called before the judge 
sitting in the townland, and in the assembly of his tribe three times, 
that is nine times in all, without him presenting himself, then let 
the criminal be captured and dragged by force before the judge 
that he may give answer for the murder? The whole assembly 
answered: Yes, let it be so, let it be so. Henceforth, if an indict- 
ment be made against a person, except in the case of murder, let 
his name be called before the judge in his own townland, and in 
the assembly of his own tribe, and if he will not answer, this is not 
applicable to one lying ill, let him be put to shame, and let him 
not show his face before judge or jury until he has made sufficient 
restitution and back-payment? And they all answered: Yes, let 
it be so. | i 
The words were written on the tract of the laws of Errion. Great 
was the joyous news that came in from every side, for at this season 
there was not a single complaint nor indictment made before the 
general assembly of Teacmor Tabarta, and on the other hand there 
was peace and contentment in every part of Errion; the Gaal were 
multiplying with great increase, yet there was not only provision 
enough for the sustenance of all but a great superabundance. The 
lands of the tribes far and near were yellow with a prolific harvest 
of oats, barley and wheat, and their pasture lands were spotted 
with numerous herds of cattle, and flocks of sheep. Even the state- 




















349 
ly forests shed nuts in plenty, the lonely vallies, and the heather- 
blued mountains were filled with stags and roes, indeed it seemed 
as if the happy earth was heavy sided (taobtrom) with fertility! At 
the end of the days of the great feast, the tract of law, the writings 
of Eolus, and the book of Chronicles were read publicly in the hear- 
ing of the general assembly. And the words were very good. Then 
the heralds proclaimed: Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding 
justice? And no one answered. As the assembly adjourned the 
portals of the high-chamber were shut, according to practice. On 
this occasion Ardrig invited the ollams and the youths of Mur-n- 
ollam to be present each day during the celebration of the Games. 
At the close of the feast all returned to their own district. Now 
it chanced that Feargais was sickly, and he asked permission of 
Ardrig: If it be possible let Feargais stay with you in Tabarta 
until Baal ascends a little higher? This was Eocaid’s answer, not 
only can Feagais remain on Tabarta, but he can even dwell in 
Teacmor, for those who are far from the throne can readily do what 
is not permitted to kings, for fear of the back bitings of jealousy. 
Eocaid set out for Dunsoberce, but Feargais remained on Tavarta 
dwelling in Teacmor. The hills and vallies of Ullad rejoice as the 
king travels over them, he did not convoke the assembly of Ullad 
to the Bruiteine, until Fionn, his son attained the required age. 
As soon as that time arrived swift curriers were dispatched through 
the kingdom with letters, saying: Let the princes, chieftains, ol- 
lams, tribunes of the people, and the judges assemble on the Brui- 
teine of Ullad, in presence of the king when Baal shall go into his 
house Iarsgith (July). And Eocaid added other words like these: 
Let each chieftain say in his chieftaincy, and each tribune in his 
tribe: There shall be a full plenty of tents pitched around Dunso- 
berce, and countless tables victual-laden prepared for the Gaal, 
come therefore for Fionn, my first-born son, has attained the neces- 
sary age. On the appointed day the assembly met on the Bruiteine 
of Ullad in presence of the king, and after the mighty hosts were 
placed in order by chieftaincy, and tribe, around the Bruiteine, the 
heralds came into the presence of the king to announce the num- 
bers: From the chieftaincy of largaal, nine thousand, together 
with their female companions. From the chieftaincy of Rathboth, 
nine thousand five hundred, together with female companions. 


350 


From the chieftaincy of Glenadun, nine thousand nine hundred, 
with their female companions. From the chieftaincy of Aoimag, 
nine thousand five hundred, together with their female companions. 
From the chieftaincy of Larne, nine thousand, together with their 
female companions. From the chieftaincy of Magneac, nine thous- . 
and seven hundred, together with their female companions. From 
the chieftaincy of Ardtan, nine thousand, together with their female 
companions. i 

From the chieftaincy of Ibeic twenty-eight thousand, together 
with their female companions. From the chieftaincy of Maginse, 
nineteen thousand, together with their female companions, When 
they had finished the enumeration, Eocaid, the king, arose and 
said: O free and mighty nobles Fionn, my first-born son, has at- 
' tained the necessary age, he stands in your presence, gentle and 
approved, fit even to be king in Ullad! Feargais hath fulfilled my 
hopes in him for he is a gracious and regal man, and since he is 
so favored and dear to the children of the land, I appoint Fionn to 
sit as regent over Ullad, and Feargais will aid the heir-apparent to 
walk the path of wisdom. Turning his countenance to Fionn he 
said: O royal and beloved son listen to the words of thy father 
spoken in the presence of the free children of the soil, depart not 
to the right nor left from the words of the tract of the laws for 
any cause whatsoever, they will be a bright light guiding thy feet 
in the way of justice. Be merciful. Enter the schools, honor the 
teachers, since they instruct the minds of the young, place due 
restraint on the cromfirs, permit no judge to read sentence from 
the law, until the jury has spoken in presence of the defendant. 
Remember always that thou art the chief-shepherd to protect the 
flocks, do not prove a ravening wolf for their destruction. Sit on 
the throne of thy father in Ullad dispensing justice and mercy. 
Lifting up his voice and stretching forth his hands: O princes and 
nobles of Ullad if Fionn turns from the way of justice the ear of 
the king will be open to hear the complaint, and his mind ready 
to chastise the evil inclinations of the son. When they heard, the 
people all shouted: May Baal bless every work of the king! When 
the heralds cried forth: Stands any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad 
demanding justice? No voice answered. They adjourned and a 
feast of nine days followed in Dunsoberce. In these days Eocaid 

















351 

set out for Teacmor Tabarta he devoted much care and attentiorr 
to the Mur-n-ollam. It transpired that before the day for the as- 
sembling of the general assembly of Errion, that Rioteasac, king of 
Gaalen, came to the tents of Ardrig on Tabarta, saying:- Sire, the 
cromfir have received no invitation to the house of Ardrig? Ardrig 
answered: O Rioteasac the tents of Ardrig are open at all times to 
all the children of the land. Do not the cromfir belong to Errion? 
Therefore, as soon as the assembly sat in the high-chamber of Teac- 
mor Tabarta Rioteasac, the king of Gaalen, arose saying. O mighty 
nobles Rioteasac has a word for the general assembly regarding the 
cromfir. Then according to custom they celebrated the great fes- 
tival and the athletic games on the field of Tara. 

When the nine days had elapsed, the general assembly met 
again in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tara. Rioteasac, the king 
of Gaalen, arose, saying: O kings, mighty princes, and nobles of 
the free children of Errion, if you take thought you will readily 
perceive that the cromfir got a Fenic (Phoenician) bargain, for the 
ollams sit and raise their hands, on causes in the high-chamber, the 
judges likewise take their places in our midst, even the Danaan are 
thought good enough, to be the companions of the kings, princes, 
and great nobles of Errion, but the Ardcromfear, who sits in the 
chair of Amergein, a prince of the race, a son of the hero, nor the 
cromfirs, who know the mysteries of Baal and guard the sacred 
fire, are not permitted to enter the high-chamber? 

Therefore to put an end to, and to right this injustice, what if 
Ardcromfear, and nine cromfir from. each division of Errion, be 
entitled to enter, to take council, and to show their hands in the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tara? 

The assembly held a conference on the question, and much was 
said for and against the cause, but indeed neither the ollams, the 
Danaan, nor the Ardrig, spoke on the question. At length Roi- 
teasac, the king of Gaalen, said: If Ardrig would disclose his 
sentiments? Immediately Ardrig stood, saying: Again right noble 
members is this assembly threatened by the resurrection of the 
perennially recurring question of the cromfir. Is there such want 
and scarcity of wisdom upon us? If so is the Ardollam here? If 
there be want of knowledge in the conference as to the interpreta- 
tion of the law is not the Ardbreatam present? It surprises me 


352 

that you have so suddenly íorgotten the distasteful story of Crom- 
cruad and Luban in the days of Tigernmas, the king? Or have 
you._lost recollection of a more recent occurrence which transpired 
within the memory of ourselves, how Eacon came as if tracing his 
right to cast lots for the seating of the chieftains? What mystery 
of Baal is revealed to any man? Why should the cromfear force 
his way into. the high-chamber? Have they not their own allotted 
duties to perform? It is the office of the cromfear to keep the 
sacred fire burning, to guide the traveller through the darkness, to 
show the tides, the divisions, the years and the seasons? I believe 
the fulfillment of these works are not to be accomplished within 
the walls of Teacmor? Is it not written in the law: The Crom- 
fear will not come into the high-chamber of Teacmor Tara for- 
‘ever?’ Were these words written without sense or reason? By my 
- head I see no sufficient cause for breaking the words of the sentence 
of the law of Errion. If you permit the cromfir to enter now it will . 
not be long before they will begin to crowd out the nobles of Er- 
rion from the high-chamber of Teacmor? Let the assembly render 
judgment ; but for Ardrig his opinion is: Let the word of the law 
be preserved. 

Indeed it was so resolved. The day prior to the adjournment of 
the general assembly, the tract of the law was opened and the text 
read, and the book of Chronicles was opened and read, and the 
‘words were both pleasing and good to hear. At the finish the 
heralds cried out: Stands anyone on Tara demanding justice? No 
voice answered. The assembly went forth, and the great portals 
of the high-chamber were shut, according to custom. 


BOOK FOUR, V. CHAPTER. 


Iber, the king of Mumain, did not return to his own kingdom, 
but set out with Finn to Dunsoberce. No sooner did Iber behold 
Fionna, the beautiful daughter of Eocaid, than he bestowed his ad- 
miration and love for her, and he married her, and she accompanied 
him, as his queeri to Mumain. In these days when Roiteasac had 
reigned thirty-three years, he died. This was the manner of his 
death: He did eat heartily of bees’ honey, and was stricken with 
colic, and before the thistles could be prepared for him to take, 





353 

he was beyond cure. After his sepulture the assembly of Gaalen 
convened on the Bruiteine, and they elected Aongais, his son, to 
tule in his place over the kingdom of Gaalen. Now it so happened 
that Aongais, king of Gaalen, married Dearbaal, the daughter of 
Feargais, prince of Ullad. Therefore Eocaid said: O friend Near- 
tan my joy is complete! The peace and prosperity of Errion is 
established. 

Eocaid resided at Tabarta. But upon the entry of Baal into 
Iarsgith (July) Ardrig proceeded to Dunsoberce. Eocaid remained 


' in Ullad but one month for Fionn directed all things justly, which 


caused the heart of Eocaid to rejoice. Now as soon as Baal ap- 
proached his house Blath, Ardrig set out from Teacmor Tabarta to 
the tents of Iber, king of Mumain, thence he proceeded to the tents 
of Aongais, and upon the entry of Baal into Meas (August), Eocaid 
directed his course to the dwelling of Meirt, king of Ultonnmact. 
After his visit he returned to Teacmor Tabarta, and dwelt in his 
tents on Tabarta. Years touch Eocaid but lightly. He still esteems 
the tales of the bards and the songs of the poets, as well as the 
music and dance. He rides to the chase as a hunter in his youth 
and prime. LEocaid said to me: O Neartan preceed me in the 
progress to Dunsoberce, and dwell in the Mur-n-ollam, give your 
attention and care to the youths, and when Baal enters, Iarsgith I 
will join you in Ullad. Ardrig placed his arms about the neck of 
Neartan calling him: Companion and friend. There was no neces- 
sity for Neartan’s supervision for the ollams were zealous and Fionn 
gave his care to every thing. On this occasion when the assembly 
Ullad convened on the Bruiteine, and held session and finished the 
festivity such was the peace and prosperity far and wide through 
the kingdom, that neither Fionn nor Eocaid had aught to say, save 
express their thanks and pleasure. Therefore the tract of the law 
was read, and the words of Eolus, the wise, and the book of Chroni- 
cles. At the completion the herald’s proclaimed aloud: Stands 
any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice? A voice 
answered, saying: I aver that Nida, the mother of the children 
of Imtad, deceased, of the Gaal of Aoimag, hath words for the ear 
of king Eocaid. As soon as the heralds repeated the words with- 
in, the king said: Conduct Nida, the mother of the children of 


. Imtad, into our presence. Then came Nida and stood before the 


354 
king, and said: Doil, the chieftain oí Aoimag, died a day and a 


' half year since, and Imtad died from Nida and her children a quar- 
_ ter before that time. And so came the time for the division. When 
: the ruler of the tribe stood on the Bruiteine, what availed it that 


the spirit of Imtad looked upon it, nevertheless Nida and her 


- orphans were without means or hope, except what she had in the 
justicé and goodness of the king. The king inquired: Against — 


whom doth Nida complain? Nida answered: Nida knoweth not, 


- but the king who is a philosopher surpassing the world in wisdom, 
' and understanding all things, will he not know who did the injustice 
as soon as Nida says that the day of division came, and the land 


is now in the possession of Imtad’s brother, and that’ Nida and 


_ Imtad’s children are without any share? The king inquired: Who 
_ is the tribune over the tribe of Imtad? Nida answered it.is Neirid, 
- who stands there. And the king said: If Neirid would speak? 


As Neirid arose he said: -All the children are minors under the 


. age. What share is possible for Nida to receive, but the widew’s 
_ share, according to:the practice of Tanasteac? But Nida answered: 
. Nida hath not the track of her foot of land, her cows are grazed for . 


the half of their milk. Then the king ordered: Let Terid, the son 


_ of Doil, the chieftain of Aoimag, and Neirid, the tribune, examine 
_ into this case, therewith the king said: The practice of Tanasteac 


. has not done right in a case of this kind, a custom may become 
"good or evil by circumstances. I judge as in this case there are too 


é. many years beíore the time of final division comes? Since the soil 


"is the means of sustenance to and life for men it is not just that 
; anyone be deprived of their share of it? By the practice of Tanas- 
“teac as it now stands: The. widow without children returns to the 


township. of her father, taking with her a third of the wealth and 


_ substance of her deceased husband. But the widow with children 
and they young, takes a third of her husband’s goods and so has to 
live. while the same chieftain remains alive. Now I believe. that 
condition’ of waiting” is too long. . What if the practice regarding 


~ 


“the widow without children remain? The assembly answered yea, 


“be it so, be it so! On the same question the king said: What if 
the widow with children retain the whole wealth and ‘substance of 
“her: husband until the day. of the division, and let the season of 
; division be in the Tionnscnad (March) of every fourth. year? fu 
: answered : Yea, bei it SO, be it: sunt á

355 


_. Thus-said the king: -The poor. widow will have some means for 
_ the honest sustenance of herself and children! Give it not to say 
to the censorious that the widow and her orphans were forgotten 
in the land. Indeed as it sometimes happens that both father and 
mother die from their children, let the nearest of kindred take the 
fosterage of the orphans, for which they shall likewise receive due 
divisions. Let the whole tribe give watch and ward to the orphans 
bereft of the care of their mother and the strength of their father? 
All answered: Yea, be it so! And the king said: What if the prac- 
_ tice of Tanasteac be so amended. And it was so ordered. Furth- 
ermore the king said: As to the case of Nida after examination 
into it, let justice be done, according to the amended practice. And 
it was so. When finished the assembly adjourned to Dunsoberce, 
and after the nine days were passed Eocaid set out for Teacmor 
4 Tabarta. i i É 
The swift curriers went forth summoning the kings,. princes, 
_ chieftains, ollams and the tribunes oí the people, as well as the king 
and eight of the nobles of Ultonnmact to assemble in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta in presence of Ardrig.; On the ap- 
pointed day they were gathered according to custom in the high- 
chamber, Ardrig arose and said: -High-princes and -- illustrious 
_ nobles, peace and prosperity rests over all Errion.. The youth are 
learning science earnestly, the kings, princes, and chieftains bow 
to the laws, there is not a single ruler who oppresses the Gaal. 
_ The Gaal dwell in peace and happiness, and Ultonnmact is as a 
division of Errion. Ardrig has no other word, but thanks for the 
ear of this general assembly. But Meirt, the king of Ultonnmact, 
arose from behind the throne, saying: Meirt hath words for the 
_ kings, princes and nobles of Errion, regarding Ardrig as soon as 
the great portals of the high-chamber are opened, after the nine 
days of the great feast. Then the assembly adjourned and the great 
feast was ordered according to practice. There was wonder 
‘amongst them by reason of the words of Meirt, the king of Ul- 
‘tonnmact, and curiosity regarding the matter he wished discussed 
in relation to Ardrig. As soon as the portals of the high-chamber 
were opened and the general assembly in session, Meirt arose, say- 
‘ing: There are words written in the book of Chronicles of Errion 
conferring on the Danaan the right to propose in the high-chamber, 


*

356 


therefore let Errion be attentive to my words: What if a prince of . 
the line of Er be always Ardrig? Now the surprise of the assembly . i 
was so sudden that no one raised his voice. After a moment's . 
suspense Ardrig arose, saying: O most noble rulers Meirt knows. i 
and let all who hear his words understand that this guestion has not : 
been moved by the knowledge, nor ambition of Eocaid. It is now . 
twelve and twenty years since the kings, princes, and nobles, of the . 
land elected me Eocaid, the son of Fiaca, to be Ardrig. From that | 
day the benediction of peace rested over Errion. 

Now when there is speech and discussion of such’ a question itd . 
is not proper for Eocaid to be present, yet before I go forth I would i 
say one word: [lí it appear good to the assembly that a son oí Er i 
be elected to preside over his brethren even in this high-chamber, . 
the practice of Tanasteac must nevertheless be preserved intact, 
and in force, that is Ardrig must be elected from among the various. 
candidates, by the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and the tri- 
bunes of the people, even as has been the practice from the begin- 
ning. i 

Then followed discussion and council among the princes and. 
nobles, but Iber and Aongais spoke no word, and while they still. 
were in session, the Ardollam said: Let the heralds conduct Ardrig. 
in, and as Eocaid advanced before the throne he said: Let the 
Ardollam announce: Hence the Ardollam said: Let the assembly i 
manifest its choice by raising the right hands. And four score. 
but three right hands were raised that is a plurality. Thereíore the. 
Ardollam said: What ií it be the practice of Tanasteac that a son. 
of Er be elected Ardrig forever by the kings, princes, and nobles, © 
of Errion? And the party favorable to Eocaid, that is the four score . 
but three, arose and facing the East they swore by Baal, Re, and. 
Tarsnasc, That a son of the line of Er should sit on the throne of ) 
Errion, according to the law, forever. After that the general as-. 
sembly adjourned, but Ardrig did not suffer them to disperse, for 
solemn games and festivities were in order for the entire month of 
Fliucim (November). When the contests and games on field of i 
Tabarta were ended, the portals of the high-chamber of Teacmor 
were opened again, and the tract of the law was unrolled and its. 
words publicly read in the hearing of the general assembly. After 
that the heralds cried out with a great voice: Stands any person

on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice answered. The assembly 


- went forth and the portals of Teacmor were closed as customary. 


Eocaid remained on Tabarta. 

There was peace, contentment, and prosperity, over Errion, and 
each year as Baal entered Iarsgith, the king was accustomed to 
set out for Dunsoberce. What time Eocaid had reigned forty years 
in Ullad, and after sending forth the curriers to summon the as- 
sembly to Tabarta, he sent an embassy to his son Fionn that he 
should come into his presence. When Fionn arrived at Tabarta 
Ardrig said to him: My son remain here with me until Iarsgith, 
and I will return with you to Ullad. Accordingly as Baal entered 
Iarsgith Ardrig set forth with his son Fionn and Neartan and royal 
retinue and Eocaid showed that he wished to go by way of the 


_Mur-n-ollam. That he might inspect the youths, and give orders 


concerning them. Now as soon as the youths ascertained that 
Ardrig would visit them, they came out in multitudes to meet him, 
and processions of maidens dressed in white came singing to honor 
Ardrig. And Eocaid entered Mur-n-ollam and remained for a time. 
And when he approached the river, a messenger came to him say- 
ing: The young men of Gaalen desire to speed their race-horses 
on the course in the presence of Ardrig. And they conducted Ard- 
rig to a hill overlooking the Curragh (race-course) )and great com- 
panies of matrons and maidens were placed round about him. After 
the race began as they turned on the banks of the Buideaman 
(Boyne) one of the race-horses made a wild bolt into the river, and 
the youth riding was unhorsed, and drowned by the sweeping cur- 
rent of the river. A great cry of confusion and weeping arose, as 
soon as one of the maidens heard what happened, and that it was 
Cailt, the son of Deag, the poet laureate, who was drowned, she 
ran in the access of her grief to the river and she cast herself into 
it. By the time rescuers came with boats both were dead. Great 
lamentation ensued, and Eocaid wept, and the multitude bore the 
corpses of both to a room of the Mur-n-ollam. And Eocaid tar- 
ried until they were both buried. And the youth and the maiden 
were interred under the same carn (tumulus). And the name of 
the maiden was Dutama. Is not the elegy of Caoilt and Dutama 
composed by the bards, among the writings of the bards in the 
Mur-n-ollam? Now this doleful accident and his remaining for 


358 


the -obsequies, caused Eocaid’s return ‘to Ullad to be Tater than’ 
usual: Betause the king did not impress the mark with his foot 
on the soil of Ullad on the first day of Iarsgith (July), the cromfir’ 


augured that it was: An omen from Baal that he should not re- 


turn again. to ‘Feacmior Tabarta. The day following his arrival the’ 


king set out- for Mur-n-ollam, and he heard a chosen few from the 


. thousands of the youth holding public discussion, and the coun- 


tenance of the king was bright with happiness. And he said if 
only all the youth throughout Errion were in mind and desire so 
cultured, it would be fortunate for the children of the land and a glory 
for the king.. Then he inquired: Was Fionn a frequent visitor to 


the’ Mur-n-ollam ?- The ollams answered: He was. Therefore the — 
king said: ‘It is well. For if the kings and princes and nobles are 


wise and léarned the Gaal will always dwell in peace and prosper- 


ity. Now. at ‘this season when the king was taking a seven days’ 
rést at Duhsoberce, there came two cromfir with a message from the 
Ardcromfear of Gaalen, and after they had tarried a day they 


returned again’ to the south. But in truth they had not proceeded 


on their journey more than two days when the king was stricken 


down with a fit of sickness, intense pain racked his head and back 
and shooting pains pierced his bones, and his illness grew worse from 


hour to hour. When the royal physician came he made a close 


inquiry from the chamberlain, for it was in his chamber he was 


awakened by the pain, then the attendant answered: The two crom- 


fir of Gaalen made a present of couch robes to the king, and now I 
remember one of them said to me: If the king inquireth, saying: 
Why hast thou changed the trappings of my couch? Say a friend 
of the king’s, hath done it, to honor the king!’ Now Eocaid was 
borne from that bed to another chamber, and the clothing on which 
he lay examined, and behold it was the pelt of a sea animal, and 
it was heavily soaked in juices, for as it and the linens were spread 
before the fire to dry, a steam and sickening odor arose from them. 
And Fionn: inquired’ of his father: Knowest thou, O father, that 
thé eromfear of Gaalen bestowed a gift on thee, and he answered : 
I knew it not. : 

“Then Fionn related to his father the occurrence. Taltan, the 
King's doctor, ordered “water to be drawn from the sea and be 
heated, and the king to be:placed in the hot bath, after a space he 


: 359 


was ae: out of the warm bath and after drvtng him, he was efoldell 
7 from head to foot in hot wool and a great fire made in. his cham- | 
E ber and when thirst came on him he was given cool water from 
the living spring to drink. Then Taltan, the royal leech, felt, the . 
skin of the king, and when he found it hot and dry and not even : 
the sign of the dew of sweat upon it. He struck his breast and. 
broke into lamentation. Eocaid said: Patience, O patience, my - 


friend, call to'me my two sons, Eocaid and Fionn, and send word, , 


to the Mur-n-ollam to Neartan and Cairbe. When Neartan and . 
Muinid came accompanied by Ardfear and. Cairbre, and Taltan | 
- was near the sick-bed and Fionn and Eocaid but the face of the . 
king was turned away, but as the door opened he endeavored to 
turn but was unable, he called to Taltan to place him on his side, 
and he looked at us; and when he saw our eyes full of tears, said: 
Dear friends, why are you sorrowful, whó is he that has been. 
created but must again die? My labors are finished, for three score : 
and eight years have I sojourned peacefully on the earth, I except 
one day on which Noid fell. Of that time I have occupied the. 
throne of my fathers in Ullad forty years, and for thirty-six years . 
I have sat on the throne of the Ardrig of Errion. In those years if 
I have raised my voice above the law on any occasion, be merciful, 2 
and say that the king himself was a man inclined to mercy, for . 
he ordered that mercy be shown whenever the law was sharp or | 
oppressive and the person weak and humble. The time the kings — 
of Errion elected Eocaid Ardrig, the children of the soil far and 
near through Errion were contemning the laws, the kings courted © 
the nobles, and the tribe leaders, the people, and for that reason ~ 
tumults broke out, insurrections were hatched, and the armed com- . 


a lanns were dispatched quickly on marches of slaughter, and op- 





pression. The Danaan detestcd us, and the Firgneath with but lit- . 
tle love. Now I ask in my days how was peace, contentment and _ 
happiness over all Errion? veiy. one from the Ardrig to. 
the feargneath knew his place and moreover kept it. Great crops . 
and fertility followed the scil, and the Gaal multiplied beyond num- . 
bering. With regard to the cromfir I will be silent, for they are . 
'enemies to Eocaid. He would not give credence to their mysteries, i 
he- would not accept their falsehoods as the rule to guide him. If- 
it‘has transpired that Errion stands powerful of lofty aims, high- 


360 


famed over the other divisions of the world, what is the cause? 
What has the king accomplished? I aver the good result has fol- 
lowed the work of the ollams for it was they who strengthened my 
mind in wisdom and truth. They taught me to rule myself, to keep 
subject to control my intellect, and desires, to deal out justice as 
I would like to receive justice. Then his sufferings became more 
insupportable and he said: Let my son Fionn, and Neartan and 
Taltan stand close to me, and let the rest of my children also be at 
hand. The following day the ollams came from the Mur-n-ollam: 
to Dunsoberce. | 

Now as soon as the youths were left to themselves without. 
masters they went forth, and captured five of the cromfir and 
dragged them as prisoners to the king, as soon as the noise and 
confusion reached the ear of the king he asked the cause? When 
Fionn returned to him he said: The youths of Mur-n-ollam heard | 
of the treachery of the cromfir to thee and they have dragged 
thither five of the cromfir of Ullad in order to pitch them headlong 
into the sea. And the king answered quickly: Alas, O son, what 
will be said if this evil befall these men? And rising he sat erect 
even as though his strength returned to him, and said: Alas, the 
pity, O my son, that the taste of this bitter sorrow and retribution 
should come upon my last days, are my labors overturned and dis- 
sipated so soon? Is the law of Errion dead, why is the law dis- 
honored? Will any child of the soil suffer death before he is pro- 
nounced guilty in public before a jury and a judge? Will the inno- 
cent be destroyed together with the guilty? Go forth, O Neartan, 
and stay the hands of the youths, say to them: Although your 
attempted law-breaking grieves the heart of your king yet he 
thanks you for the misdirected love it manifests. Let the youths 
return to Mur-n-ollam, and thou, O Fionn, conduct the cromfir 
to their dwellings. In the king’s dormitory there remained but the 
physician Taltan and I Neartan. 

The following day multittides of the nobles and Gaal came 
around Dunsoberce, and lamentation and mourning arose, alas if 
we could but see one sight of our good king! And when Eocaid 
heard the words of the children of Ullad, he said: What though 
unable to go out myself, my children can bear me out among my 
Gaals. But Taltan, the physician, said: It is not right to go forth, 


361 


but Eocaid ordered, saying: Carry me íorth where is a nobler spot 
Íor a king to utter his last word than in the midst of his people 
when their hearts are replete with love íor him! His four sons, 
Fionn, Eocaid, Ardfear, and Cairbre, bore him forth, such a shout 
of lamentation went up through the air that the echo of the great 
cry, called back from the dark glenns and crags and from the waves 
of the sea. They placed the king standing, for he said: My foot 
will stand on the soil of Errion as long as my voice can be heard 
by my people. His voice was clear and strong, and he spoke aloud 
in the hearing of the people: Full forty years has Eocaid, your 
king, ruled in Ullad this day fulfills my highest hope for I know that 
flattery does not wait on the last days of kings! The same law is 
over every person in Errion, every one is equal before the law, the 
law is superior to all. Now your king strove all the days of his 
life that these things should be, his wish is now fulfilled, for the 
law of Errion is a law of peace. I hope the day will not come 
when the people will overthrow the law by violence and oppression. 
O ollams of Ullad, give the knowledge of truth to the people of 
_ Ullad. Teach the children of the soil that they are men, teach also . 
_ the kings, princes and nobles that they are but men! O Gaals, have 
a mutual love for the Danaan, is there not a covenant between us? 
i do not be haughty in your rule over the firgneath íor you pledged to 
_ them a peaceful existence? I beseech, O princes, nobles and Gaal, 
_ that the spirit of Eocaid may be in you. When he had finished the 
_ Gaal came to have a look at the king, but the chieftains forbade 
it, so the king said: Do not do so, have patience and permit them 
_ for it is only a short time until I am beneath my carn. A few of 
the cromfir came into the presence also and they prostrated them- 
selves before the king, and folding their arms they prayed Baal: 
_ That the spirit of the king might be a good spirit in the mansions of 
his abode: : 

i But the king answered them: Good sirs, I do not believe that 
you can send my spirit up or yonder, thereíore it would be more 
profitable for you to guard your sacred fires, to minister to the 
traveller in the darkness, and to protect the stranger who is with- 
out friends. Now his sufferings grew intense, and they bore him 
to his chamber. That same night he said to Fionn, Eocaid, Taltan 
and to me Neartan: Now on the point of dissolution two things 











362 
sorely wound my feelings: The death of Noid, and that I accepted. 
the crown and royal robe on Liafail from the hands of the Ard- 
cromfear. O Neartan, make it known when my story be read,, 
write in the book of Chronicles that I did these things when I 
was young and inconsiderate. Now on the sixth day of the illness. 


the king died. The children of all Ullad were gathered about Dun- 
soberce. 


i: On the ninth day his weight was borne from the death-cham-- 
ber. . And in the midst of the mighty hosts a way was prepared, 
the chieftains of Iargaal, Larne, Ardtan, and Duncalgan, bore his . 
weight, the free sons of Ullad marched in front, and his four sons. 
just-behind him, then came the princes of Er, the matrons, maidens, | 
ollams, judges, tribunes of the people, and lastly a great hosting 
of the thousands of the Gaal of Ullad. When they arrived at the 
tomb-darkness had fallen and Muinid, the Ardollam of Dunsoberce, 
and the youths stood around the carn holding lighted torches in: 
their hands, and Muinid intoned the death-song; is not the doleful 
poem among the writings of the bards in the Mur-n-ollam of Dun- : 
soberce 5 ' i 

. The bards and the poets, the matrons and the maidens, con- ' 
Eaned the lamentations, but the great multitudes guarded the carn. 
all night, and as soon as Baal showed his luminous fingers in the» 
east, the multitudes turned their faces to him and bowed their 
heads. It was then that I Neartan from the summit of the carn: 
lifted my voice, saying: O Eocaid, son of Fiaca, of the line of 
Er, the’ son of Cier the hero, king of Ullad and Ardrig of Errion, 
thou wert, but now art stretched in the house of darkness, and, 
in.the couch of unending sleep! What though no eye see thee no. 
more, what though no ear shall hear thee no more, thou art none. 
the less an immortal spirit! And the multitudes went their way. 


VI. BOOK, VIII. CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF FIONN AS KING OF ULLAD AND ARD-. 


RIG OF ERRION, DURING THE TWENTY YEARS, 
_ FROM 663 TO 643 BEFORE CHRIST. ' 


“Now there was not a prince, nor chieftain, nor ollam, nor 
tribune of the people but Feargais the prince of Er, and Cobta the ' 








363 


” chieftain of Tanalta, who was suffering under a spell of sickness 


and Ros who was guarding Teacmor Tabarta, who were not present 
around the carn of Eocaid. For this reason the word went around: 
What if we elect a king íor Ullad for the days of the convening of 
the assembly oí Teacmor Tabarta are at hand? The princes and 
nobles tarried at Dunsoberce nine days, then the assembly held 
session on the Bruiteine of Ullad. Fionn indeed with unanimous 
voice was called to the throne of his father, every member raised 
his right hand íor the king. But there was no noise of a great 
shouting, there were no minstrels discoursing music, nor poets chant- 
ing their brave songs.. As Fionn arose he said: O brethren and 
free-sons of Ullad, my gratitude and thanks to you! Great was 
my happiness when I heard your voices praising me, but greater 
my joy when I saw you outstretch your hands to me, but nine times 
greater my gratitude when I perceived your gentle and considerate 
silence for my beloved father resting with the dead. I am not 
worthy to sit in his stead, yet you have taught me to trace his foot- 
steps that I may be estimable in your sight the spirit of my father 
abideth in me. And 0 free sons, since you chance to know that the 
swift curriers have gone forth through Errion to summon the gen- 
eral assembly of Erriom to Teacmor Tabarta, what if we tarry 
at Dunsoberce and thence proceed together to Teacmor Tabarta 
when Baal shall cross to the second division of his home, Tirim 
(October)? And it was so. The following day I Neartan pre- 
sented myself in the presence of Fionn, and as we remembered 
Eocaid we shed tears. And I said, behold O king, the words thy 
father placed in my hands, saying: O Neartan, preserve these 
words until one of the race is elected to succeed me on the throne 
of Ullad, then give this book to him. And moreover Neartan re- 
quests: Permission to be free from the dignity of Ardollam and to 
return to Mur-n-ollam Dunsoberce for his advanced age is in need 
of rest? Fionn answered: Do according to thy wish, O Neartan, 
but should Fionn need thy council thou wilt render it? Fionn 
embraced Neartan, calling him the friend of Eocaid. 

At this juncture Ros was elected Ardollam in place of Near- 
tan, the son of Beirt. Now the flower of the nobility of Ullad 
was in Dunsoberce and they set forth together to Teacmor Tabarta, 
and a mighty cavalcade of the children of the land accompanied the 


364 


royal retinue as far the waters oí the Laca and Fionn took Taltan, 
the chief physician of Eocaid with him. When the day for con- 
vening the general assembly of Errion in Teacmor Tabarta, the 
heralds went forth proclaiming: Know ye and understand that the 
throne of Ardrig is vacant! 

Then Iber, the king of Mumain, arose, saying: What if Fionn, 
the son of Eocaid, the son of Fiaca of the line of Er, king of Ullad, 
sit Ardrig? And every one of the assembly raised their right ~ 
hand. The heralds opened the great portals of the high-chamber 
so the assembly could go forth to Liafail, when Fionn arose from 
the dais of the king of Ullad, saying: Awhile most noble princes 
and gentle free sons of Errion, Fionn, the son of Eocaid, will not 
go forth, nor will he sit on Liafail, nor will be accept the Aison 
and royal robe but from the hands of his brothers of the race. Then 
Iber, the king of Mumain, set the Eisaon (crown) on his head, 
and Aongais, the king of Gaalen, laid the robe on his shoulder, and 
both with Meirt, king of Ultonnmact, conducted him to the throne. | 
After a space Ardrig arose and said: O illustrious fellow chiefs, 
and you most ncble free sons of Errion, although my father lies 
beneath his carn, the cause of his death and the manner of it is to 
me unknown? What if the case be subjected to judicial scrutiny? 
What if the Ardcromfear of Gaalen, and Fieban and Brenad of 
the cromfir be summoned before the assembly? Let the chief judge. 
make a just investigation. The assembly went forth, and the great 
feast of Tara was celebrated according to custom and the solemn 
games on the fair field of Tabarta. Fifteen days elapsed before 
the cromfir came to Tabarta. Then the portals of the high-cham- 
ber were opened and the general assembly came to session, and im 
their midst the chief judge arose saying: The Ardcromfear and 
the cromfir of Gaalen are on Tabarta. What is the wish of the 
general assembly? Ardrig arose and said; Let them enter. The 
cromfir took their seats near the judges, and Doil, the chief judge, . 
arose and.read aloud the words of the indictment against the men, 
saying: After nine days yet to come this cause will be investigated. 
After the nine days had elapsed the chief judge arose, saying: Call 
into my presence the chamberlain of Eocaid the late Ardrig, and 
Doncad, the chamberlain, came and he raised his right hand and 
swore by Baal, Re, and Tarsnasc, and calling upon the spirit of 


365 


Eocaid, he said: The two yonder gave me trapping to deck the 
couch of the king and ordered me to dress it forthwith, saying: If 
the king should ask wherefore hast thou placed this trappings on my 
bed, answer it is a friend of the king’s who wishes to honor him! 
After Doncad, Taltan, the royal physician, was summoned. And he 
testified that the bedclothing of the king’s couch was wet, as a 
thing wetted by fog or the dew of night, and that that peculiar 
humidity was the cause of the king’s infection. ‘Then the chief 
judge said: What saith the cromfear? 

What availeth my answer; prove first your indictment is the 
response of the Ardcromfear. What can we say but that the in- 
dictment is not true. Ardrig arose saying: O fellow princes, it 
is easy to say evil against any one, without him being guilty, I 
have lost a most estimable father, it is not meet that I should re- 
main present lest the recollection of that loss should obscure to 
me the sense of justice. I shall go forth, and do justice according 
to law to these men. The chief judge said: If the cromfir would 
speak, then the Ardcromfear answered, saying: I affirm that I sent 
words by the mouth of these men the cromfir of the most high 
Baal to the king, the story related to things that it was meet the 
king should know, and since it chanced that the men were going 
to the palace of the king I thought it most fitting to send a gift to 
him. It was thus I sent him a robe of the most precious fur of the 
sea otter for his sleep chamber and a coverlet of wonderful em- 
broidery. And I ordered them: Say nought of what you bring to 
the king but the words only, but to the attendents of the king you 
will say: A friend of the king hath done it to honor him! If 
perchance it has transpired that the trappings gathered moisture 
on their way to Dunsoberce, is it just or indeed is it possible for 
any One to assert that the Ardcromfear premeditated evil? Is it not 
unfortunate that I should bear the blame for another’s neglect? 
Is it not customary for cne who has done a misdeed to pass the 
blame on to any one who may free himself. I asservate so far as 
I am concerne with the matter I am more of a pity than a subject 
for indictment, as to these men they can answer for themselves if 
they have aught to state. And the cromfir answered: We have 
nothing to speak beyond what the Ardcromfear has stated. When 
the testimony was taken the chief judge said to the heralds: Sum- 


366 


mon Ardrig, and Ardrig entered and as he sat on the throne, Doil 
read aloud: You have heard the testimony for and against these 
men? -Is it your will that the sentence oí the law be read? But 
every member of the assembly remained seated. For this reason 
the chief judge declared: Let these men go free. Fionn, the Ard- 
Tig, appointed Searna, a prince of Er, as regent in Ullad, but from 
year to year Fionn proceeded to Dunsoberce as did Eocaid, his. 
father. According to practice by the provision of Fionn, every 
third year the general assembly of Errion convened in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. When Fionn had reigned twelve 


years, Iber, king of Mumain, died, the time of his rule over Mumain 
Was nine and twenty years. When the assembly of Mumain con- 
vened on the Bruiteine, Ceas, the son of Iber, was elected king in 
place of his father, to rule over Mumain. When Fionn had reigned 
eighteen years, Ros the Ardollam of Errion died, and Strath was 
elected Ardollam, when Fionn had reigned nineteen years, Aongais, 
king of Gaalen died, after a rule of twenty-six years over Gaalen,. 
and when the assembly convened on the Bruiteine of Gaalen they 
elected Don, the son of Aongais, as king in place of his father. 

Now when Fionn had reigned twenty years king over Ullad, 
and. as Ardrig over Errion, he died. Many were the tears, and 
great the voice of weeping and lamentation throughout the length 
of Errion. In the days of Fionn Ardrig over Errion no words were 
added to the tract of the laws, for by the laws of the days of Eocaid,. 
and his practice, the children of the soil were regulated. - 


HISTORY OF ERRION, VII BOOK, FIRST CAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF EOCAID, THE SON OF EOCAID, THE SON 
OF FIACA, ARDRIG, DURING SEVENTEEN YEARS, 
FROM 643 TO 626 B. C. > i 


Now then the assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruitiene, they 
elected Eocaid, the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla and Tatla of Firg- 
neath, king over Ullad. And when according to practice the por- 
tals of the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta were opened, and 
the kings and princes and nobles sat to elect an Ardrig to occupy 
the throne of Errion, Don, a prince of Gaalen, arose suddenly, say- 


367 


ing: O kings and fellow princes cf Errion, indeed though it ‘s said 


that an oath stands on the book of Chronicles of Errion command- 


‘ing: Let one of the sons of Er sit Ardrig forever. I affirm that 


that oath is void of force, for it was accomplished by the deceit 
and sharp practice of the partisans of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, there- 
fore I say let the brood who took the oath, likewise keep it. The 
words pledged before our days has no virtue for us? for we were 
not present nor did we hold up the right hand to consent to it? 
Wherefore hath no one of the race of Iber a right to title of Ard- 
tig? Or why indeed should not one of the race of the first Ermion 
occupy the throne of Errion? What if Don, the son of Aongais, 
king of Gaalen, be Ardrig over Errion? Scandt, the son of Meirt, 
king of Ultonnmact, arose and said: O mighty princes, is the 
laws of Eocaid, and the gentle sway of Fionn so soon forgotten? 
Has the land had a surfeit of peace? My father swore a solemn 
oath, and I have that much honor and love for the fame of my 
father, that I, Scandt, his son, by my head, will keep his pledges, 
therefore what if Eocaid, the son of Eocaid, be elected Ardrig over 


-Errion? But because an uproar and confusion followed, some for 





and some cpposed to the question, Strath, the Ardollam, arose, say- 
ing: O mighty princes and noble free sons of Errion, what if a 
showing of the right hands be manifested according to practice? 
Then indeed it transpired that every prince and noble of Gaalen, 
and seven of the nobles of Mumain raised their right hands for 
Don, the king of Gaalen. Sí 

But in favor of Eocaid every prince and free son of Ullad, and 
the king and princes and eleven of the nobles of Mumain, and Lore, 
the prince of Ib-Lugad, and Scandt, the king of Ultonnmact, and 
his nobles raised their hands. For this reason he won the title 
Ardrig. Eocaid did not go forth to Liafail, Ceas, the king of Mu- 
main, laid the Eisaon on his head and Lorc, the prince of Ib-Lugad, 
spread the royal mantle on his shoulders, and they both with Scandt,. 
the king of Ultonnmact, conducted him to the throne. In those days: 
Ardrig did not proceed each year to Ullad, he placed Ardfear, his 
half-brother (the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla and Amaril) as regent 
over Ullad at Dunsoberce. The assembly of Ullad convened season- 
ably on the Bruiteine, and the tract of the law was unfolded and its: 
words read publicly and the book of Chronicles, and the writings of 


368 


Eolus. (Same as Iolus who was worshipped as a God by the Cartha- 
ginians.) And the words were good and pleasing in the sight of the 
children of the land. Likewise the great portals of the high-cham- 
ber of Teacmor Tabarta were opened seasonably every third year. 


When the assembly convened the first time according to prac- ' 


tice they celebrated the great feast of Teacmor, and the solemn 


games of contest (comortas) on the field of Tabarta. Indeed it was. 


on the field of Tabarta in the contest that Eocaid won the trophy 
of horsmanship, for Eocaid was more expert than any one living 
in these days in feats of horsemanship. When the days of the games 
were completed, the general assembly met a second time, and the 
tract of the laws of Errion were read publicly as well as the book 
of Chronicles. 

Then the heralds called out: Stands anyone on Tabarta demand- 
ing justice, but no voice answered, and the assembly went forth 
and the great portals were closed according to practice. In those 
days Eocaid Ardrig gave every thought of his intellect, and every 
stretch and labor of his hands most earnestly to the best manner to 
give size, strength, and speed to horses in the breeding, and the 
results of his investigations and culture were effective and profit- 
able. For Ardrig placed every chief herdsman in Errion under 
‘rule and discipline how to breed horses so that from that time there 
was strength and size requisite in the horses for the need of the 
cavalry, and lightness and speed in the horses for the race and 
for the chariots. Ardrig established professors to teach this knowl- 
edge as a science. 

Now when Eocaid had ruled seventeen years Ardrig, he visited 
Dunsoberce, but on the progress of his journey when he reached 
the tents of the chieftain of Maginse, he dropped suddenly from 
his horse, and the arteries of his neck swelled and the veins stood 
out like cords, and his countenance and face turned purple, his 
death was surprising and wonderful, for-he died as suddenly as one 
stricken by a bolt of lightning. His towering carn stands in the 
chieftaincy of Maginse. |

"VII BOOK, II CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF ARDFEAR, TWELVE YEARS, FROM 626 
Saale OBC ota AC 


Now because of the unexpected death of Eocaid in Maginse, the 
assembly of Ullad was summoned to the Bruiteine, and after they 
sat the first session, they elected Cairbre, the youngest son of Eocaid 
Ollam Fodla, the son of Fiaca, as king over Ullad. In those days 
also the swift curriers went forth through Errion to summon to- 
gether, saying: When the fires shall blaze from the tops of the 
taths through Errion, let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and 
the tribunes of the people gather to the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta. Since it transpired that not a single king, prince, ollam, 
nor tribune of the people died since the day Eocaid was elected 
Ardrig, therefore he was happily surnamed “Eocaid Slanul” as the 
poets sang in the book of Ranns (poems). When the general as- 
sembly met in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, the Ardollam 
arose, saying: O kings and mighty princes of Errion, the throne 
of the Ardrig is vacant. What is your will? It was then that 
Cobta, the chief of Tanalta, arose and said: What if Cairbre, the 
king of Ullad, be chosen Ardrig over Errion?: Cairbre arose quickly 
and said: Fellow-princes of exalted renown, although. my heart is 
with Errion, my soul dwells in Ullad! It was in Ullad.Cairbe in- 
spired the first breath of life, it was there he grew up among the 
children of the land, it was on that soil he impressed the first foot- 
print, thou art the first of my loves, O Ullad! If it should seem - 


i . good to the kings, princes and nobles to seat: Cairbre on'the throne 


of Errion probably Ullad would bemoan the distinction? Cairbre © 


q could not bear to sadden Ullad! Therefore, O sires, do not blame 


me for in truth I thank and am grateful for this manifestation of 
your gentle esteem, when I say: Let anyone else rather than Cair- 
bre be chosen Ardrig. | 

When he finished there was much confusion in the high-chamber, 
many voices calling loudly: Who so princely as Cairbre to sit Ard- 
tig on the throne of Errion? Cairbre yet standing said: Be yet 
patient with me, O free sons, it is the chief desire of Cairbre to 


live his days in the land of Ullad. Upon hearing this, Ceas, the 


370 


king oí Mumain, arose and said: What ií Ardfear, the son of 
Eocaid, rule Ardrig over Errion? And he was elected unanimously. 
Ardfear did not go forth to Liaíail, Ceas, the king of Mumain, placed 
the Eisaon on his brow, but Don, the king of Gaalen, would not 
spread the royal robe on his shoulders on account oí the words of 
the cromfir. Don, the king, was loyal to the cromfir and Liafail, 
Noid, the brother of Ceas, placed the royal robe on his shoulders, 
then the assembly went íorth, and they celebrated the great feast 
according to practice, and the contest of solemn games on the open — 
plain of Tabarta. After the nine days the general assembly sat 
again, and the tract of the law, and the book of Chronicles of 
Errion were read publicly, as they were finished the heralds pro- 
claimed aloud: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding justice? No 
voice replied. The general assembly adjourned and the great por- 
tals of the high-chamber were closed according to custom. When 
Ardfear had reigned two years over Errion, Ceas, king of Mumain, 
died after a rule of twenty-seven years. When the assembly of 
Mumain convened on the Bruiteine, Noid, the brother of Ceas, was 
elected king over Mumain. When Ardfear had reigned three years, 
Don, king of Gaalen, died, and when the assembly of Gaalen con- . 
vened on the Bruiteine, Siorna, his brother, was chosen king over 
Gaalen. Ardfear and Cairbre walk in the footsteps of Fionn and 
Eocaid, true to the race of Er. When Ardfear had reigned seven 
years the swift curriers went forth through Errion with letters, say- 
ing: Upon the blazing of the fires on the raths of Errion let the | 
kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people, as- 
semble in the presence of Ardrig in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta. As soon as the general assembly came to session, Ardfear 
arose saying: Most illustrious fellow-rulers, how fortunate and 
indeed most pleasing to us, it is that we have no word to place 
before your consideration for all Errion is at peace. Nevertheless 
it was not well that the third year should elapse, without the kings, 
princes, chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people assembling 
together in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, in order that 
they may know each other, in order that they keep Errion free 
and peaceful, in order that there may exist among us a heartfelt 
friendship, in order that the hope of our good legislator may be 
fulfilled. For this reason I desire to announce to my brothers: 





IA. 371 
What if the kings of the race of Iber, and the king of Ultonnmact, 
2 and the princes and the nobles, and as many of the Gaal as it suits, 
_ make a progress with me around Errion? All answered: Yea, 
- beitso! On this same line he said: Let Cairbre, king of Ullad, and 
_ Scandt, king of Ultonnmact, be present on Tabarta, what time Baal 
shall be on the threshold of his house Tonnscnad; we will proceed 
from Tabarta to Gaalen, and from the tents of Gaalen with king 
Siorna as our companion to the tents of Noid, king of Mumain, 
and so on through the circuit; for, O fellow-rulers, I think the 
time too short which the children abide together to be thoroughly 
well acquainted? Indeed the words of Ardrig was most welcome 
to the assembly. When they adjourned the great portals of the 
high-chamber were closed, and the great feast of Teacmor pre- 
_ pared, and the trials and contest of the games celebrated on the 
_ field of Tabarta according to practice. When the days of the great 
feast were ended, and the assembly sat again in the high-chamber, 
the tract of the law, and the book of. Chronicles of Errion were 
spread out and their words read publicly in the hearing of the gen- 
eral assembly. Then the heralds proclaimed aloud: O hear ye 
stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice answered. 
And the mighty hosts dispersed homewards to the land of their 
dwellings. s 
On the first day oí Tionnscnad (March) Cairbre and Scandt 
came with their chosen escorts to Tabarta. Along with Ardrig they 
marched together to the tents of Siorna, the king of Gaalen. They 
tarried a month even the month of Tionnscnad in Gaalen, and they 
gave audience and permission to come and go to every one and 
_ leave to show the most dextrous manner and the most perfect art 
of doing any thing as it obtained in that kingdom. Then the great 
_ host set out for the tents of Mumain. Great was the multitude of 
_ young men who accompanied the kings of Errion, for the progress 
_ was similar to a teaching and a laudable house of learning to each 
_ of them. After they had finished in Mumain even as they had done 
_ in Gaalen, they marched together to Ultonnmact. When they ar- 
_ rived at Cruacan the goodly palace of Scandt, king of Ultonnmact, 
_ the royal retinue had a great feast ready, and there was a gather- 
_ ing of the Danaan beyond number from every division of the realm 
_ encamped around the immense meadows and grassy plains of Crua- 
can. Joy spread far and near through the kingdom.

ror Ultonnmact they marched to Ullad, and when they had 
sojourned a month in Dunsoberce as they had done in all the other 


kingdoms, they parted, each proceeding to the land of their dwell- 
ing. There was a quarter and a division spent in that circuitous 
journey around Errion, but the athletic feats, the enobling lessons, 
and every worthy and profitable outcome that was accomplished are 
they not sung among the writings of the poets in book of Ranns? 

As Ardrig was returning to Teacmor. Tabarta, king Cairbre 
went as his.companion, but when Cairbre returned to Dunsoberce, 
Strath the Ardollam was dead. They elected Feilmid, son of Tairn, 
Ardollam of Ullad. Now the children of the soil loved Cairbre 
most .tenderly, in those days the cromfir came into Cairbre’s pres- 
ence, saying: Woe to us for the heart and intellect of the king of 
Ullad is against the cromfir of Baal the mighty, what shall we do to 
prove our love for the king? 

Cairbre asked them: Has Cairbre done aia or humiliated yout 
Have you any cause of complaint against him? They answered: 
Certainly we have not, but that is not it, the king calls into his 
presence with genial welcome not only the ollams, the minstrels and 


the poets, but even the curide-binn-t-aos (corrybantes) but the crom- — 


fir of the most high Baal he never invites at all. It was then Cair- 
bre, the king of Ullad, answered, saying: Have you some new 
discovery of science for my ear, or anything desirable to my heart? 


Have you recent news or ancient legends that were unknown? But 


indeed the Ardcromfear began to assert concerning the.cromfir whom 
Baal. selected for his servants forever, who: have held the mys- 
teries of Baal from the beginning! Likewise the Ardcromfear mum- 
bled over the mysteries of Baal to the nine cromfir and such like. 
But Cairbre, the king, answered: Do not the cromfir tell the mys- 
teries of Baal to the children of the soil? If.so, then they know 


them? Many things did the cromfir say mysteriously and darkly, — 


but their refrain was always, Baal the highest and the cromfir were 
as one; those persons who give cause of complaint to the crom- 
fir anger Baal. But Cairbre, the king, answered: This is not wis- 
dom, wisdom is the knowledge of the truth, is your word true? 
Cairbre, the king, dismissed the cromfir, saying: Cairbre was ten 
years of age when his father died. Often I remember him say- 
ing: The cromfir assert ignorant things, and by my head my 






















373 


_ father’s was a truthful tongue! One’s understanding teaches to 
' curb inordinate desires, true wisdom is the teaching of good, if 


the cromfir teach the children of the soil goodness they will be 
undoubtedly esteemed by me. If they do not know of such things 


let them receive instruction from the ollams! The cromfir were 


silenced, and went their way in sadness. Now when Ardfear had 
reigned twelve years he passed a week visiting at the tents of the 
chieftain of Arddeas and as he returned to the high-road leading to 
Tabarta he attached to his retinue Olioll, the son of Eocaid, and 
two youths, the sons of Ceanard, the chieftain of Ardtan. Before 
they arrived at the banks of the Buideaman (Boyne) the darkness 
of a cloudy night supervened, and upon crossing in the pitchy dark- 
ness it happened that Ardrig missed the right ford, and the strong 
current of the river instantly swept the horse and its rider under, 
and they were drowned. 

During all that sorrowful night his retinue searched the river 
on both banks until the whitening of the morning, and with the 


first light of dawn they found his body among a thick growth of 
willows that overhung the bank. They bore his weight to Tabarta, 
and there on the east side of Tabarta his carn is built. 


II CHAPTER. 


REIGN OF FIACA, THE SON OF FIONN, SON OF EOCAID 


OLLAM FODLA, EIGHT YEARS, FROM 614 to 606 A. C. 


Now swift curriers were dispatched throughout Erin, saying: 


i Let the kings, princes, chieftains ollams, and tribunes of the peo- 
_ ple, assemble forthwith in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 


to elect an Ardrig. When the general assembly were in session 
the first time in the high-chamber, they elected Fiaca, the son of 
Fionn, the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, as Ardrig over Erin. Ac- 
cording to the practice of his line he did not go out to Liafail, the 
king of Mumain placed the crown on his brow, and the king of 


3 Gaalen laid the royal robe on his shoulder. After he had made 


acknowledgement of his thanks to the assembly, they went forth to . 


q celebrate the great feast of Teacmor, and the feats of contest on the 
field of Tabarta. From the time the children of Er first came to 


374 


Erin there were no games more celebrated than these, three times 
nine days were devoted to their passage. On the twenty-ninth day 
the general assembly sat again in the high-chamber for the second 
session, when Ardrig arose and said: O most renowned fellow- 
princes, since it transpires that Ardrig has no question to place be- 
fore your consideration, what if the Tract of the Law and the book 
of Chronicles be spread out and their text read publicly? And it 
was so. After the reading the heralds cried aloud: Standeth any 
man on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice answered. Now 
though the body of Fiaca was physically weak, undermined by. sick- 


ness, yet his mind was lofty and noble Ardrig walks in the footsteps . 


of his line. He confirms the minds of the youth, and gives com- 
mand to the ollams with regard to their training. He holds Oilliol 
the son of Eocaid, former Ardrig, in great esteem. Ooilliol rules 
through Fiaca though not yet of age. The general assembly meets 
seasonably, and the tract of the Law and the words of the book of 
Chronicles are read according to custom. Indeed the path of jus- 
tice is Fiaca’s path. Therefore peace and prosperity is over Erin. 
After Fiaca had thus reigned eight years he died for he decayed 
internally by the infection of consumption. His mighty carn stands 
on the banks of the Buideaman (Boyne). : 


FOURTH CHAPTER. 


REIGN OF OILLIOL, SURNAMED BIORNGAAL, TWELVE 
YEARS, FROM 606 TO 594 B. C. 


Now after the death of Fiaca Ardrig, the swift curriers went 
forth to proclaim, saying: Baal and victory to you, O kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people! Assemble on Ta- 
barta to elect an Ardrig. When the general assembly sat in the 
high-chamber, the Ardollam arose, saying: The throne of the 
Ardrig is vacant, what is your pleasure? And although Oilliol, the 
son of Eocaid, had a strong following of partisans, it was Oilliol, 
the son of Ardfear, the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, who was elected 
Ardrig over Errion. He did not go out to Laifail, Cairbre, king of 
Ullad, placed the crown on his brow, and Scandt, king of Ultonn- 
mact, placed the royal robe on his shoulders. After which the as-

sembly adjourned to celebrate the Games as was the custom. When 
the assembly met the second time in the high-chamber the tract 
of the law and the book of Chronicles were read publicly. 

. Then the heralds proclaimed: Stands there on Tabarta any 
one demanding justice? No voice answered. As the general as- 
sembly went forth the portals of the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta were closed according to practice. Now it transpired that 
the anger and enmity of Oilliol, the son of Eocaid, the son of Eocaid 
Ollam Fodla, blazed and burned against Ardrig, for while Fiaca 
lived he ruled all things through him, likewise after the demise 
of Fiaca he entertained the hope that he would be elected to the 
throne of Erin, but the event did not fulfil the expectation. He 
drew numerous following with him. Great disquietude prevailed, 
and the spirit of Cairbre was disturbed by reason of the evil the 
two did unceasingly. Each tried to attach to his own party the 
princes of Er and the nobles of Ullad. Oilliol Biorngneath strove to 
incite the Gaal of Ullad to war. Indeed the princes, the king, and 
the nobles of Gaalen, made promises of assistance now to one, now 
to another of them with the hope of working ruin to the line of 
Er. But Cairbre, the king of Ullad, held the Danaan and the 
Firgneath still in peace. This condition obtained during all the 
days while Noid, king of Mumain, lived his esteem and 
love for the memory of Failbe was so strong. His spirit was a 
spirit of peace and justice. But on the death of Noid when the 
assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine, Iber, his son, was 
elected king over Mumain, now in the seventh year of the reign 
of Oilliol Biorngaal Ardrig, Iber gave ear to the counsel of Siorna, 
for Iber married Melisa, the daughter of Muredac, the son of Siorna. 
Iber and Siorna widened the breach between them. 

The words of Cairbre could not stem the folly and madness 
that seized the sons of Er. The calling of the clangor of battle, 
the clash of arms, the measured tread of the comlanns and the 
rushing charge of the cavalry had a stronger and a louder voice 
for them than the piping call of peace. What time Oilliol Ardrig 
had reigned eleven years, Oilliol Biorngneath crossed over to the 
land of Ultonnmact. In those days Magn was king over that land 
for Scandt, the former king, meanwhile had died. Oilliol Biorng- 
neath and Magn struck a treaty after this manner: If Oilliol Ardrig

376 


directed his armed hosts against Ullad Magn will march his aux- 
illiaries into Ullad, but if the comlanns of Ullad march out from 
their own territory Magn will remain in Ultonnmact. It happened 
that Cairbre was broken with the age of many days when news. 
reached him of the conspiracy of Oilliol: How he went covertly 
through Ullad, organizing the comlanns to give battle to Ardrig. 
Cairbre sent a royal currier to him, saying: Upon the receipt of 


my message, Oilliol, the prince of Ullad, will forthwith come “to. 


the presence of Cairbre. And he came agreeable to the invitation. 
The king likewise sent after Ardfear (Arthur), his son, and me 
Feilmid, the chief-ollam of Ullad. And Cairbre besought Oilliol 
not to disturb the peace of the kingdom. But when he plainly per- 
ceived that it was greed of rule and lust of power that moved 
Oilliol, and that he was determined to pour out torrents of the 
blood of the Gaal for its possession, the heart of king Cairbre was 
touched by sorrow, and he said to Ojilliol: Is the sense of your 
Intellect dead, that you can in no way bridle the impetuosity of 
your desire? If you covet dominion, and will rest satisfied with 
the kingdom of Ullad, sit on the chair of the kingdom of Ullad and 
welcome if the assembly will assent, but before I abdicate the throne 
thou shalt swear to me, that thou wilt not cause strife in Ullad nor 
contention in Erin. And Oilliol swore. Then Cairbre sent curriers 
through every principality and chieftaincy of Ullad, saying: Let 
the assembly convene forthwith in presence of the king on the 
Bruiteine of Ullad. When the princes, chieftains, ollams, and 
tribunes of the people assembled, there came also innumerable mul- 
titudés of the Gaal and surrounded the Bruiteine. Cairbre came 
with a retinue of ollams, judges, and bards, and as he approached 
the Bruiteine he perceived that the princes, nobles, and the Gaal 
were armed in full panoply: Then the king commanded: Let the 
heralds proclaim: Let the sword, bow and lance, be stowed in the 
armory .of the warriors, we are not convened here to organize com- 
lanns but council. Do you accomplish the deeds of peace with the 
implements of war? Cairbre, the king, will not speak in the midst 
of armed multitudes. After hearing that they disarmed. 

Returning they bowed :their heads and lifted up their hands 
to the king, then. Cairbre went into the Bruiteine, and Feargais 
(PHYRRUS OR FERGUS), a prince of. Er; placed the crown

q _ on his brow and laid the royal robe on his shoulder, and Cairbre was 





seated, and an all-hail and a great shout of welcome broke forth 


 - for. the king. When the noise subsided, Cairbre arose and said: 





__ O free nobles of Ullad, our fathers said, and ourselves say in our 
_ practice of Tanasteac: That it is not lawful for one to reign 
until he has reached the twenty-fifth year. It is unlawful for one 
imperfect in any of his members, it is unlawful for one that is men- 
tally defective. Three score and eighteen years have elapsed since 
Cairbre first began to inhale the breath of life, is it not meet that 
the law grant ease to worn old age even as it prohibits the onerous 
burden of ruling to youth? I believe there is royal timber in Oil- 
liol, the son of Eocaid, the son of my father, and if the princes and 
the nobles incline to the same opinion Cairbre is full willing to 
give him the royal seat of Ullad. Therefore Cairbre saith: What 
if Oilliol, the son of Eocaid, sit on the chair of the king of Ullad? 
It was at this juncture that Dorloth, the chieftain of Aoimag, arose, 
saying: Fellow-nobles and free-children of Ullad, if a person might 
really know if it were by the true wish of the king without doubt 
or cause to free himself from the burden of the kingdom, and his. 
office to resign voluntarily to Oilliol? The king still standing, said: 
O princes and nobles of Ullad, it is not the dread of the burden 
and the love of ease alone that urge me to lay down the domaim 
given into my trust, but the fear that I can not longer fill its re- 
quirements by reason of my advanced age. 

Up to this day if I have done injustice or injury to any one I 
will make reparation, if I have succeeded well in any line it was 
the spirit of my father which guided me. To the query of Dor- 
loth I answer: Yea, it is the sincere and voluntary act of Cair- 
bre to lay down the burden of the kingship. Then Dorloth con- 
tinued: - What if Oilliol, the son of Eocaid, the son of Eocaid 
Ollam Fodla, according to the wish of Cairbre be chosen king over 
Ullad? And it was so. 

Cairbre arose from the throne and walked to Oilliol, and taking 
the crown from his own head he placed on the brow of Oilliol, and 
stripped the royal robe from his shouiders ana laid on the shoulders 
of Ojilliol, and taking his hand conducted him to the throne of the 
king, but in truti the coronation was not haiied with the great ac- 
claim and mighty shouts of joy. At the last session of the assembly 


378 | 


all the great chiefiains gathered about Cairbre to show him honor. 


The following morning Cairbre and his son Ardfear set out from 
Dunsoberce to Mur-n-ollam. Many piinces remained by the counsel 
of Cairbre with Oilliol in Dunsoberce. The feast was prepared 
and the tract cf the law and the book of Chronicles read publicly, 
according to custom. Then the heralds called aloud: Stands any- 
one On the Bruiterne of Ullad demanding justice? And no voice 
answered. When they had finished Oilliol, the king, said: O 
mighty princes and free-children of Ullad you know that Biorngaal 
spread injustice and desolation over the land. All the sons of 
Eocaid were wise and just except this Biorngaal, my mind and dis- 
position inclines to peace. Nevertheless if a battle is fought Oilliol, 
the king of Ullad, will be found brave, worthy of his comlanns, ac- 
cording to the history of his famous race of the mighty hand! It 
will not be repeated henceforth forever that the princes and nobles 
of Ullad with their comlanns fled from the brunt of the battle. Then 
they went their way. Now nothing was heard through the length 
of the land of Ullad but the noise attendant on the ordering of the 
comlanns for war. Indeed Oilliol neither remembered nor kept 
the oath he swore to Cairbre. At that Ardrig wrote letters to Cair- 
bre, saying: What hast thou done? Is it true that thou hast abdicat- 
ed for that son of Tatla? My beloved what infatuation befell thee? 
Alas, did madness bereave thee entirely of reason? Is it true the 
gentle Cairbre loves the peace of Erin? Didst thou fondly believe 
that Biorngneath would rest satisfied with Ullad? He will spread 
warfare and strife over the land to gain possession of the throne 
of Erin? When Cairbre had read the words of Oilliol Ardrig, he 
wrung his hands, saying: Woe is me! Pity I did not sleep under 
my carn before this misfortune befell me. Until this my days were 
good and full of peace, now a black cloud surrounds me. Up to 
that time Cairbre took part in the enjoyment of the hunt, in music 
and poetry. But now he wa§-melancholy. Cairbre tarried in the 
Mur-n-ollam,of Dunsoberce,for fifteen days, and there he died, after 
a reign of twenty-one years. Now it happened before Cairbre ex- 
pired that he commanded Labrad and Ardfear, his sons and me 


Feilmid, the Ardollam and the princes and nobles of Ullad, saying: 


Lay my body in its sleep of peace with the remains of my father 
so that the same carn shall stand for both. As soon as the cromfir

379 

heard this they said: Such a thing would be desecration, it cannot 
be? Who would open the door? They stirred up the Gaal to deter 
the sons of Cairbre, on the day of the interment it seemed as if all 
Ullad was about Mur-n-ollam, Labrad and Ardfear, his sons and 
the chieftains of Iargaal and Dundalgan bore the weight of Cairbre, 
the princes, chieftains, ollams, tribunes of the people, poets, min- 
strels and the thousands of Ullad, as well as companies of matrons 
and maidens marched behind the dead. When the cortege drew 
near the carn, in which Eocaid Ollam Fodla lay—. Behold! The 
cromfir of Ullad were surrounding it, but the Ardcromfear was 
standing at the door of the tomb. The weight of Cairbre was rested 
on the rollers and Labrad demanded: Who is it hinders the dead 
on its way to interment? And the Ardcromfear answered: This is 
the house that Baal, the most high allotted to Eocaid before this 
high-king. The rock is laid to, and the door closed forever! May 
desolation and destruction come to him who will open the tomb of 
the dead. Neither Baal, nor the king permits a misdeed so great. 
But Ardfear said aloud: Hold O cromfear for Ardfear will open 
the tomb that Cairbre may lay beside his father. The Ardcromfear 
Teplied it is impossible. And he turned to the cromfir, and they 
turned their faces to the Gaal. It was then that Ardfear lifted up 
his voice and said publicly: It is possible and by my head it shall 
be so. Then a mighty murmur ran through the valiant Gaal, saying: 
Who has given the cromfir the right to legislate for Ullad? After 
that the cromfir went their way, and Cairbre was buried at the side 


of Eocaid, his father. I Feilmid sang the death song, the bards 


called forth the sad music of the harps and the poets and matrons 
and maidens chanted lamentations, the Gaal inclined the head, and 
the princes and nobles were grieved now that Cairbre was dead. At 
this time a currier came from Ardrig with letters to Oilliol, king of 
Ullad, saying: Let Oilliol, king of Ullad, stand in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta and answer why he disturbs the calm and peace 
of Erin with the clamor of war? Oilliol, king of Ullad, sent back 
with the same messenger words like this: If the noise of prepara- 
tion for battle fills Ardrig’s ears with terror let him put his head 
beneath his cloak. Ardrig likewise sent a currier to Magn, king of 
Ultonnmact, saying: Word has come to the king that you have 
promised aid to Oilliol, king of Ullad, in his revolt against Ardrig? 


380 


Magn repeated the words he said to Oilliol, but did not tell the words 
Oilliol said to him. 

Now Oiilliol, king of Ullad, paid great court to the cromfir and 
great numbers of them came to Dunsoberce, and they spoke to the 
Gaal of the battle and the halo of glory with which Baal surrounds 
the hero, and that the spirit of battle was a good spirit, and that the 
voice of the battle cry gave courage to the weak and strength to their — 
arms. They told of the battle song, now so long in disuse, asking 
what death so glorious as the warriors falling in the prime of his 
strength. The new-spirit of the heroic warrior renowned in arms. 
flies like a young eagle in its strength proudly to the blessed dwelling 
of Baal! No sooner had the ollams heard the words of the cromfir 
than they set out through Ullad, saying: Is the spirit of Eocaid and 
Cairbre smothered in the princes, nobles and Gaal does it live in 
the ollams alone? The ollams aroused the poets and the bards, say- 
ing: Sing of love and bethrothal of the chase and tales of ancient 
times, and let the harp be tuned to the song. 

They spoke to the cromfir also, saying: Teach peace, the beauty 
of wisdom to the Gaal, but the cromfir answered mockingly: What 
availeth the voice of the cromfir of Baal, the most high? Are they, 
not calumniated ‘and scorned in the sight of the people? Are not 
the Gaal taught by the ollams to contemn the cromfir? The words 
of the ollams were but air in the ears of the cromfir. It transpired 
that the kings of Mumain and Gaalen counseled Ardrig to his un- 
doing, for they said: Place a heavier tax and tribute on Ultonnmact 
for the Danaan are becoming too proud, and Ardrig followed the 
evil counsel. It placed such anger and revenge on the spirit of UI- 
tonnmact that armed companies of the Danaan marched into every 
part of Ullad. With that Oilliol called together the nobles of Ullad 
and the chieftains of the Danaan, and said to them: O high-nobles 
the Ardrig shuts us up in Ullad as in a huge prison. War stalks 
over the land! I have been assured that as soon as we force the 
Ardrig past the waters of the Eider that Iber and Siorna will give 
him no further aid. As soon as Ardrig perceived that neither Oilliol 
nor Magn would answer before the general assembly in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, he marshalled the comlanns of Mu- 
main and Gaalen and marched upon Dunsoberce. After arraying the 
comlanns of Ullad and Ultonnmact under their chieftains, Oilliol 








. 381 

addressed them “Ho! Ho! But won’t my lions of Ullad and my 
wolves of Ultonnmact chase and crunch the bones of the shepherds 
and questors of Ardrig?’’! Ardrig marched across the waters of the 
Eider, but not in full force, for Iber, king of Mumain, and Siorna, 
king of Gaalen, conspired against him, for they said: Permit the 
sons of Er to mutually destroy themselves. As yet the legions from 
Oir of Mumain did not arrive to Ardig, a race brave and renowned 
in arms, so he encamped in Maginse. The confederated army of 
the comlanns of Ullad and Ultonnmact came up against him, when 
they saw the tents of Ardrig they too encamped. The following 
morning when they had formed their hosts in battle array. Oilliol, 
king of Ullad, commanded the heralds: Proclaim in the hearing of 
Ardrig: Con, the war horse of Oilliol, carries his rider to Teacmor 
Tabarta. Now Ardrig perceived the treachery that was on foot, for 
Siorna marched slothfully and Iber did likewise for this reason 
Ardrig dismounted and loosening his cloak he cast it on the ground, 
and unbuckling his sword-belt threw it on top of the royal robe, and 
bearing his sword he broke the scabbard, and calling on the spirit of 
Eocaid he said aloud: O heralds say in the hearing of the biorn- 
gneath the king of Ullad: As the roar of battle arises, Oilliol Ardrig 
like his renowned race of the mighty hand will stand in the fore- 
front of the fight with the crown on his head and his sword in his 
hand ready to answer the treacherous offspring of Tatla! 

When Oilliol heard this he drove his charger in a red fury 
against Ardrig, and when he saw Ardrig standing, without his royal 
Tobe and his naked sword in his hand, Oilliol leaped from Con, and 
opening his cloak he pitched the scabbard of his sword away, and 
as they closed on each other Ardrig said: Ullad was too small for 
the ambition of Oilliol, he covets the throne of Erin, I demand there- 
fore the right of single combat so that the blood of the Gaal shall 
not be shed for the crimes of the king of Ullad. They stood foot 
to foot, and they fought so bravely and expertly as if swordsman- 
ship was their profession from youth. So they fought shield to 
shield and sword to sword without either gaining a footstep on the 
other, until Ardrig thought to rush Oilliol away from him, but Oilliol 
made a back-leap and Ardrig losing his guard, Oilliol gave him a 
fierce thrust in the right side under the naval, Ardrig fell and his 
bowels protruded. As he fell no great shout ascended, but those 


382 


nearest to him ran to carry him to his tent, but he said: Abide, 
Abide, O valiant men, permit me to inhale my latest breath under the 
pure air. [have lived long enough! To the king of Ullad he said: 


If thou art chosen Ardrig as thou dost covet, little will be thy peace . : i 


and great thy pain, even now though tardy follow peace. Siorna 
and Iber betrayed me deeply, there you have the sons of Iolar to the 
sons of Er—. The above were the last words of Oilliol Biorngaal 
Ardrig. He sat on the throne of Erin twelve years. A mighty 
carn was constructed over Oilliol- on the spot where he fell in 
Maginis. : 

Maca, the Ardollam of Erin, chanted the death cry, but Oilliol,. 
the king of Ullad, intoned the battle song. The men of Erin mourned 
deeply over the carn of Oilliol for he was a most noble prince, brave, 
gentle, and of exalted purpose. 


VII BOOK, V. CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF OILLIOL BIORNGNEATH, SON OF EO- 
CAID, KING OF ULLAD, AND ARDRIG FOR SIXTEEN 
YEARS, 594 TO 578 B. C. 


Now swift curriers went through Erin calling together the gen- 
eral assembly to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. When they 
sat the first session the Ardollam said: Hear O high princes the 
throne of Erin is vacant! Then arose Talt, the chieftain of Maglen, 
saying: What if Siorna, the king of Gaalen, sit Ardrig? Now 
Siorna was sixty-eight years old, yet desired to rule as Ardrig, the 
princes and the nobles eyed on another. But Magn, the king of 
Ultonnmact, arose, saying: O high princes, and free nobles of Erin, 
I have heard my father say and have heard mysélf the words read: 
That it was the practice of Tanasteac, that a prince of the line of 
Er should sit Ardrig forever. I heard my father say that it came 
down from his father, likewise I heard Meirt relate that an oath was 
recorded on the book of Chronicles declaring the same. It is true 
that Meirt did not swear by your Baal, he swore by the gods of the 
mighty deep, and a king of Ultonnmact is not accustomed to lift 
up his hand falsely. I understand that Meirt and Scandt gave the 
hand of pledged truth? Does not Magn sit in the place of his father 








383 


Certainly. While I was in Ullad I saw Ardfear, a youth, chivalrous 
and noble, but he is not of the age, I also saw Labrad, another son 
of Cairbre, he is of age and full of wisdom, I spoke to him of Teac- 
mor Tabarta, listen to his words, if Labrad is worthy of the throne 
of Erin great would be his loss to Ullad? Labrad will remain in 
Ullad. Ardfear cannot and Labrad desires not to rule—. Therefore, 
what if Oilliol, king of Ullad, takes the throne? Many men stood 
to talk and hold conference. And some voices were heard to repeat 
mockingly the names of Tatla and the Firgneath. After the cabal 
the chieftain of Tanalta arose and said: O most noble sirs, was not 
Fionn, the son of Eocaid, descended from Tatla? Was not Eocaid, 
the brother of Fionn from Tatla? Was not Fiaca the son of Fionn from 
Tatla? Therefore there is not the fog of an obstacle to hinder Oilliol 
from the title of Ardrig. Cannot Oilliol be even as was Fionn, Eo- 
caid, and Fiaca? After that Oilliol, king of Ullad, was elected Ard- 
rig, he did not go out to Liafail, Cobta, the prince of Ith from Ib- 
Lugad placed the crown on his brow and Magn, the king of Ul- 
-tonnmact, laid the royal robe on his shoulders. When the session 
ended the general assembly went forth, the great feast of Teacmor 
was prepared, and they celebrated the games for nine days on the 
campus of Tabarta. After the days of the great feast, the doors 
of the high-chamber were opened for the second session, Ardrig 
arose, saying: O fellow kings and praiseworthy lords over the free- 
men of Erin, the king has no case to place for your consideration 
only this that Oilliol cannot be the equal of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, but 
will try to be. Then Oilliol added: In reading the writings of Eo- 
caid Ollam Fodla, the great law giver, I saw these words: What 
if there be nothing to add to the tract of the Law, nor any complaint 
to make in the high-chamber, nor no one demanding justice on Ta- 
barta. Nevertheless it is well if the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, 
and the tribunes of the people, assemble seasonably to extend the 
hand of friendship, and not alone that they may know each other, 
but indeed that the Gaal henceforth may be as one in an enduring 
union. I think it well yea most desirable if the tract of the Law be 
spread, and the book of:Chronicles, and that they be read publicly 
to the people? For that reason I put this motion: What if we act 
according to this rule in future: That the tract of the Law of Erin 
and the practice of Tanasteac be spread, and their words read pub- 


5384. ; 

licly on the third day? And the writings of Eolus and the book of 
Chronicles of Gaalag on the second day? But the book of the 
Chronicles of Erin on the day preceeding the adjournment . of the 
general assembly when the doors of the high-chamber shall be shut? 
For myself I say: Ardrig loves their words as he does the sweet 
tones of the harp. What is your wish? All answered: “Yea! be 
it so. And it was so. As they finished, the heralds called aloud: 
Stands any person on Tabarta demanding justice? But no voice 
was heard. The general assembly went forth, and the great portals 
of the high-chamber were closed. Olliol dwelt in his pavillion on 
Tabarta. What time Baal was in the fourth division of his house 
Blath (fourth week of April) Oilliol set out for Dunsoberce, and 
he commanded that swift curriers go through Ullad summoning the 
assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine. Now it transpired when I was 
with the king in the palace, Oilliol said to me: O Feilmid soon the 
princes, nobles and Gaal will be on the Bruiteine, I would like to 
-hear the words you have written down for the days of the Biorngaal 
for the hearing of Ullad? According to his request I read the words 
for the ear of the king, and he sat without a word, meditating after 
a while he said: Those words of the book are distasteful to my ear, 
and sharp and sore to my eye. Pity the spirit of Eocaid was not 
stronger in me, that I might have kept my desires under the guidance 
of reason. Wisdom teaches us the knowledge of truth, and the need 
to follow it. Oilliol deceived Cairbre; he coveted the place of the 
king of Ullad, and his heart was sick for the throne of Erin. If 
Labrad and Ardfear would do to me as I have done to their father, 
would not my wrath blaze against them even to their banishment? 
I affirm it is one thing to know the right, but another thing to walk 
in it. When the king had finished speaking I said: O king the wise 
are not moved to anger by the words of truth, though they be bitter. 
Thou didst permit the cromfir with calm whispers to embroil the 
children of the land? Oilliol answered: The recollection of that 
galls my spirit. Though true that the cromfir captured my reason, 
yet Oilliol knew very well that such deeds were unjust! What has 
been done it is impossible to undo, but for the future Oilliol will 
walk in the footsteps of Eocaid and Cairbre. And now O Feilmid 
thou friend of Cairbre, I beseech thee to listen to my words: Is it 
possible for thee to read words from the book of Chronicles that put 











385 


Oilliol to shame before the children of the land, and wounds his heart 
grievously: He cannot suffer the judgment of the word: And 
Oilliol broke the oath he swore to Cairbre, the king. O Feilmid 
reveal and manifest every other dereliction save those words; I be- 
seech you do not allow them to stand forever! Still standing in the 
presence of the king I answered thus: When the writings of Eolus 
were laid between the hands of Tarlath in Gaalag of the fathers, 
Tarlath swore that he would write every thing during his days good 
to the eye and soothing to the ear, that he. would praise or censure 
each as they deserved, confirming the good and chastising the evil, 
above all he most solemnly swore that he would not record a false 
word on the leaves of the scroll! Feilmid, when he assumed the 
title of Ardollam of Erin, was bound by the same oath. Therefore 
if Feilmid asks of the king: Is there aught false in the words of 
Feilmid, what will the king answer? Then Oilliol said: There is 
the sharp point that flays for Oilliol is ashamed in answering: It is 
by virtue of the fact that the words are true that they so wound his 
heart! And I said to him: When Feilmid will read the words he 
has written in the hearing of Oilliol and the children of Ullad on 
the Bruiteine acknowledge your grievous fault in the presence and 


in the hearing of the children of the land, it is thus you will receive 
condonement. Oilliol replied: It is meet and just that I should taste 


a sharp and bitter penalty for the evil I have done. The day of con- 
vening of the assembly of Ullad on the Bruiteine, the king arose, 
saying: O high nobles and free children of Ullad the king has no 
motion nor address to place before your hearing, for peace reigns 


over Erin. What if the tract of the Law, and the book of Chronicles 


be read. And they were read. At the close of the session, the heralds 


cried aloud: Stands any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding 


justice? And Oilliol, the king, arose saying: Let the words of 
Feilmid, the Ardollam, be heard calling for justice against Oilliol, 
son of Eocaid, son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla? I am guilty? Let my 
accusation and my shame be placed together before the children of 
the land. Was it not my grand parent with truthful tongue said to 
Fionn, his son: Tell the men of Ullad that they are men, and say 
to the kings, princes, and nobles, that they are no more than men! 
Then the people shouted: May Baal prosper every undertaking of 
the king! The assembly extended their hands to Oilliol. It was at 


386 


this juncture Oilliol went to Labrad, the son of Cairbre, and taking 


him by the right hand conducted him to the chair beside the throne, 
and seated him there, saying: Let Labrad sit viceroy in Ullad, let 
him live a friend to Oilliol and by his wisdom teach Oilliol how to 
walk in the footsteps of Cairbre, his father. The air trembled with 
the shouts and tumultuous cheering when they heard the words of 
Oilliol, the king of Ullad. When they had finished the multitude 
set out for Dunsoberce. They celebrated the feast and games on 
the campus of Dunsoberce during nine days, open for all Ullad. 
After the lapse of a month Oilliol set out for Teacmor Tabarta. 

In the fourth year of the reign of Oilliol, Feilmid died and Sior- 
lath was elected Ardollam. Peace obtains in Erin. Year after year 
Oilliol comes to Ullad. After the twelfth year he heard that the 
nobles and the tribunes of the people complained that the progress 
of the king through Ullad was like the passage of Baal when he 
withers the crops and the substance of the soil. Then Oilliol said 
in the hearing of the people: Since the visit of the king consumes 
the substance of the land, for the future I will make my abode at 
Dunsoberce, let the princes and the nobles come thither to me. And 
during the king’s stay in Ullad they celebrated the great feast, with 
games, music, poetry, the chase, deer stalking, the dance, and the 
tales of ancient times. Oilliol highly prized splendid horses, he him- 


self won the chief prize for horsemanship. He also sent kennel mas- — 


ters into every chieftaincy in Erin to observe the best methods and 
breeds of hounds and dogs to inbreed for size of body and fleetness 
of foot. : 

Labrad sat as viceroy in truth, wisdom, and justice. The great 
portals of the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta were regularly and 
seasonably opened through all the days oí Oilliol Ardrig, every rule 


and observance, and the practice of Tanasteac were strictly carried 


out during all his years. 

Oilliol. Ardrig died in Dunsoberce, and his carn was raised in the 
meadow of Cluaneic, a sling’s cast from the Dun. They chanted his 
death cry, but the king himself left command that no war song should 
be sung. eh oe. ate araon BB LG

VII. BOOK, VI. CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF SIORNA, THE SON OF DON, THE KING 
OF GAALEN, FOR TWENTY YEARS, FROM 578 TO 558 B. C. 


On the death of Olliol the assembly of Ullad was summoned to 
the Bruiteine ; and Labrad, the son of Cairbre, was chosen king. At 
the same time the swift curriers went forth through Erin citing the 
kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and the tribunes of the people to 
the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. As soon as the general as- 
sembly sat in the first session, the Ardollam arose and declared: The 
throne of Erin to be vacant. Feilmid, the chieftain of Aoimag, arose, 
saying: What if Labrad, the king of Ullad, be chosen Ardrig? But 
Labrad arose, bowing his thanks to the assembly, and declining: No, 
O renowned princes Labrad will remain in Ullad. At this juncture 
Murcad, a prince of Gaalen, arose, saying: What if Siorna, 
king of Gaalen, be elected Ardrig? Immediately voices 
were heard shouting: The oath! The oath! But Labrad 
said still standing: Four score and nine years have elapsed 
since the kings, princes, and nobles, swore to elect a prince of the 
line of Er forever. Who from this assembly was then living? It 
is my opinion that an oath is binding on the person who swears it. 
Let us put the case from this point of view: Suppose the unhappy 
day should come when no descendant from the house of Er should 
be worthy the throne of Ardrig. What would transpire? A prince 
of Iber or Iolar would rule, and why should they not? When Labrad 
concluded, Murcad again arose, saying: What if Siorna, king of 
Gaalen, sit on the throne of Erin? Now it so chanced that Siorna, 
the king, was four score and five years of age at the time Murcad 
made the motion, therefore the assembly smiled, indeed some of them 
laughed outright. When Siorna observed this he arose, saying: 
Gently, O fellow princes, Iolar came thither from Gaallag of our 
fathers, he conquered this land and ruled over it as Ermion, I am a 
descendant of the Iolar (eagle), and you all know that the age of 
the Iolar (eagle) is three hundred years, and Siorna is not yet but 
a little over four score? The vigor, fire, and enterprise of youth is 
in me still! If there be no better candidate in the field Siorna will 
not certainly go contrary to the showing of the hands. 


388 

So the younger princes and nobles applauded with their hands . 
and shouted approving cry, saying: Let Siorna take his rest and 
enjoy peace on the throne of Erin. 

So the young men carried Siorna on their shoulders out to Liafail. 
Siorna sat on Liafail and the Ardcromfear placed the Eisaon (crown) 
on his brow, and the royal robe on his shoulders, and conducted him . 
back to the portals of the high-chamber, and Siorna took the throne. 
After he expressed his thanks to the assembly, they adjourned, and 
the great portals of the high-chamber were shut. They. celebrated 
the great feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the field of 
Tabarta. Now it was the chief ambition of Siorna to honor the crom- 
fir exceedingly, and to humble the ollams in their presence. The 
cromfir kept it always impressed on his mind that he enjoyed his 
grand old age as a gift from Baal obtained at the impetration of the 
cromfir. They likewise whispered to him: Let a prince from the 


line of Iolar be Ardrig forever! And a gentle rumor moved from 


-mouth to ear through all the land, saying: It is the wish of Baal 


that you construct permanent houses for his servants, that they may 
have them as mystery-chambers, and repositories, and places for gift 
offerings. It was Siorna’s chief wish to found such. When Labrad 
had reigned eight years Siorlat died and Min was elected Ardollam 
of Ullad in his stead. Labrad was very popular with the children of 
the land, for Ullad was peacefully at rest during his days. After a 
reign of eleven years he died, and Ardfear, his brother, was elected 
king over Ullad. When Iber had reigned one score and’ fourteen 
years in Mumain he died, and Noid, his son, was elected to succeed 
him. In those days the cromfir of Ullad came now one, again an-. 
other of them requesting a word in private with Ardfear, the king, 
but their methods pleased not Ardfear at all. And in presence of 
Min they dwelt on the esteem shown by Ardrig to the cromfir of 
Gaalen, but on this occasion they did not mention the cromfir of 
Ullad. After the death of Ardfear, for he reigned only six year, 
when Blath, the son of Labrad, was elected, they resumed their im- 
portunities, for the king was young, and they did not know his in- 
clinations. In Mumain in like manner Noid died after a reign of five 
years and Roiteasac, the son of Roan, the brother of Noid, was elect- 
ed king, therefore when the general assembly convened in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, that is on the nineteenth year of

Siorna’s reign, at the first session Siorna arose and said: O fellow 


_ princes of Errion, the Ardcromfear and many of the cromfir came to 


me, saying: Baal is over all and the cromfir, his servants, hold his 
secrets on earth! Baal spoke to the nine cromfir from the beginning, 
saying: As I rule the land, the water and the air, so shall you rule 
over the Gaal, the nations of the earth under me? Baal will speak to 
the cromfir, and the cromfir will repeat it to the people. Am not I 
Diatim (Infinite god)? Thereupon the Ardcromfear said: Liafail 
belongs to Baal and the Lots—casting which reveal his mind. And 
since the nine laws to the nine cromfir was from Baal in the begin- 
ning, therefore it is necessary that the cromfir approve'of every law 
which men pass on earth, therefore what if nine cromfir from each 
kingdom of the Gaal in Errion sit in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta to give counsel and raise their hands? Blath, the king of 
Ullad, quickly arose to the question and said: O kings, high princes, 
and free children of Errion: If the words of the Ardcromfear re- 
peated to us by Siorna, the king, be true, then the cromfir are the 
rulers and princes over the earth, and the kings and princes are no 
better than the servants of the cromfir? Indeed I have not canvassed 
your inclinations, nor ascertained your opinion! But for my own 
part I will affirm: That I am Blath, the son of Labrad, the son of 
Cairbre, the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, from the line of Er, the son 
of the Hero, that I sit as king on the regal chair of Ullad, that I have 
been elected king by the practice of Tanasteac, by the sufferage of 
the princes and nobles of Ullad in the presence of the children of the 
land! It is a pity, for if the pretensions of the Ardcromfir be true 
I should vacate the throne in favor of the wily servants of Baal? By 
our head are not words written on the tract of the laws of Errion, 
saying: Permit not a cromfear to enter Teacmor Tabarta forever. 
Let them attend the fires, and write down the tides and seasons and 
their divisions and quarters, that the people may know the passage 
of time. If words be swept from the bosom of the tract of the laws, 
and replaced by new ones, it is necessary to show the reason, and 
having disclosed a sufficient reason, the motive also of the cause must 
be made manifest. If Ardrig would speak. The assembly awaited 
the answer of Ardrig. But the head of Siorna reclined on the side 
of the throne, for he lapsed into a sound sleep. Oilliola, the son of 
Aongais, the son of Siorna, went and covered his grandfather with - 


390 
his robe, but the footfalls of Oilliola awakened Ardrig: As soon as 
Oilliola returned to his place, Blath, the king of Ullad, arose and 
said: What if the words on the tract of the laws remain unchanged ? 
The assembly answered as with a single voice: Yea, so be it. And 
it was so. The writings were read the first day, according to custom. 
Then the assembly adjourned and the portals of the high-chamber 
were closed. They celebrated the great feast of Teacmor and the 
deeds of contest on the field of Tabarta. On the last day of the ses- 
sions, the tract of the Laws of Errion were read publicly. When 
finished the heralds demanded with a great voice: Stands any one 
on Tabarta demanding justice? But no voice answered, so the gen- 
eral assembly went forth, and the great portals of the high-chamber 
were shut. Now it came to pass in those days that Siorna died, after 
he had reigned Ardrig twenty years. Siorna had passed his hun- 
dred and sixth year at the time of his demise, yet the cromfir circu- 


lated: That Baal shot him with his arrows of death, because he 


failed to fulfill his promises made to the cromfir. ,

The Second Book and the Seventh Chapter 
of the 


HISTORY OF PRECHRISTIAN 
IRELAND 

















Treating of the Valient Men of Fodla and Danba. 


The reign of Roitheasac from the stock of Iber, for seven 
years from 558 to 551 before Christ. (See the Annals of the 
Kingdom of Ireland, age of the world 4170. I. vol., 58 page.) 

Now upon the death of Siorna, the princes and nobles were 
called to the council-hill of Gaalen, and in the first session 
Giolcad the son of Ojilliol the son of Siorna was chosen king of 
Gaalen. At the same time the curriers went forth through Er- 
rion calling together the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and 
the tribunes of the people to the high-chamber Teacmor Tara. 
As the general Assembly sat in the high-chamber they elected 
Roitheasac the son of Roan king of Munster, high-king over 
Errion. Roitheasac was profoundly skilled in all the arts per- 
taining to bronze and iron, he was likewise famed for his 
knowledge of every herb indigenous to the soil of Errion. He 
was the inventor of the large spinning wheel for spinning the 
flax for linen. He improved the sling by substituting a leathern 
thong in place of the rod. It was he who tunnelled through 
the bowels of the earth extracting thence iron and copper. He 


676 


enlarged the chariot íor the use oí three and four horses. He 
invented truck-wagons, for moving great freights. Now when 
Roitheasac had reigned seven years he prepared as usual each 
year to proceed from Teacmor to Munster, to inspect his mines 
and smelting forges in the southwest mountains overlooking 
the ocean, as he passed from forge to forge, from manufactory 
to manufactory, from one works to another for he examined 
personally the progress of each enterprise, a molten spark flew 
into his eye, and after sustaining mortal suffering for three days 
he expired, and they buried him among the mountains which 
rise between the river Iber and the great sea. In that glen they 
erected his cairn great, wonderful therefore it is called the 
“Glen-of-the-Rath.” : 





VII. Book VII. Chapter. The reign of Elim from the stock 
of Iber for one year from 551 to 550 B. C. (See Annals of the 
Kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. page 60 under the name of Elim 
Olfinnsneacta.) | 

When Elim the son of Roiteasac ascertained that his father 
was dead, for he was at the time in Teacmor, as Siorna and 
Roiteasac dwelt in Teacmor while Ardrig, except his annua: 
visitation through Mumain. Now with the expectation that 
he would become Ardrig Elim remained at Tabarta, as it hap- 
pened that Elim did not show himself in their midst, the chiefs 
sent letters calling the assembly of Mumain to the Bruiteine. 
In the first session they elected Failbe the son of Roan 
king over Mumain. As soon as Elim heard this news he be- 
came full angry, and he wrote words after this fashion to 
Failbe: As soon as I become Ardrig Failbe will know the 
sharpness of my sword. 

When the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams and tribunes of 
the people assembled on Tabarta as summoned. Lo! the great 
portals of the high-chamber were yet closed, but privily word 
came to each member, saying: O illustrious ruler Elim in the 
kings chamber has a word for your ear. 

Then they went, the princes, and nobles of Mumain and 
some of the nobles of Gaalen into the presence of Elim. But 
Blath and the princes and nobles of Ullad remained in their 
tents on Tabarta, such was the election of Elim, if he was as 








677 


is said Ardrig, but he certainly did not observe the practice 
of election. As usual one abuse begets another, for it trans- 
pired that no sooner did Giolcad king of Gaalen observe that 
part of the assembly were his own partisans, and another por- 
tion declined to support Elim because he disregarded the practice 
of election, than he commanded the heralds of Gaalen to pro- 
claim on Tabarta: Hear ye all—The throne of Ardrig is vacant. 
After that the princes and nobles of Gaalen elected Giolcad 
Ardrig, but in truth there was no session of the general assembly. 
Nor were the tract of the law nor the book of Chronicles read, 
neither was the great feast of Tabarta nor the games of con- 
test on the field of exploits, celebrated, but marched quickly 
each to his own kingdom. In this dilemma Elim was fastened 
and bound on every side, therefore he went like a thief to Failbe, 
king of Mumain, saying: We are brothers let there be no quarrel 
nor conspiracy, between us, sit thou king over Mumain but aid 
me to retain the throne of Errion. I am aware that the Danaan 
and the Firgneath are followers of Er. Likewise the eagle 
has the ascendency over the horseman, if Iber divides against 
itself soon there will be no Iber? So Failbe gave the hand of 
friendship and the pledge of aid to Elim. Elim sojourned in 
Mumain retaining the title of Ardrig, but curriers went through 
Gaalen and Ullad, saying: Let the comlanns of the warriors 
be marshalled around Giolcad Ardrig on Tabarta without delay. 
And Blath, the king of Ullad, stood at the head of his armed 
comlanns, and marched toward Tabarta. As the combined 
armies of Gaalen and Ullad set out against Mumain so the 
army of Mumain marched against Gaalen, for Elim said: The 
Horseman (the emblem of the line of Iber) will make a dashing 
charge on Gaalen before the eagle descends on him. As soon 
as the armies came in sight of each other, the heralds of Gaalen 
cried out in the hearing of Elim. Let no foot stand against 
Ardrig on his march to extinquish the contumacy and revolt 
of Elim. Elim strode into the space between the arrayed armies 
answering and mocking: What shadow and image or a king 
is that I behold yonder? For Giolcad was lean and tall. Giol- 
cad answered: Not long before Elim will be nothing, not even 
a shadow on the earth! 

Scarcely were the words spoken when Elim fell to the sword 


678 


of Giolcad. Giolcad despoiled the Eisaon from his head and 
the royal robe from his shoulders and marched his way. The 
body of Elim was borne to Mumain, and there his carn was 
constructed, but indeed Elim was not mourned. 





VII. Book. IX. Chapter. The reign of Giolcad, son of 
Oilloil, son of Siorna, for nine years, 550 to 541 B. C. (See 
Annals of the kingdom of Ireland, Vol. 1, page 60. Age of 
the world 4186.) 





~ 


After the death of Elim when the general Assembly was in 
session in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, and Giolcad 
seated on the throne, he arose and said: O high princes, the 


name of Elim is written on the roll of the kings of Errion, it 
behooves that this subject be examined at the next session. 
Teinn, the king of Ultonnmact, arose and said: If Ultonn- | 
mact pay imperial taxes, it behooves the Dannaan to know to 
whom? The king of Ultonnmact questions: Why is the chair 
of the king of Gaalen empty? And why doth Giolcad sit on 
the throne of Errion? Blath, the king of Ullad, arose and said: 
Teinn, the king of Ultonnmact, has spoken words of true import. 
What if Giolcad take the chair of the King of Gaalen? Giolcau 
went to the place of the king of Gaalen. It was then that Blath, 
the king of Ullad, said: What if Giolcad, the king of Gaalen, 
sit Ardrig? And all the assembly showed their right hand. 
Giolcad went forth to Liafail, but Blath, nor the princes, chief- 
tains, ollavs, nor tribunes of the people left their places. When 
Ardrig had returned to the throne, Glas, the chieftain of Eudan- 
daire, arose saying: If Ardrig would repeat his words rela- 
tive to Elim? Giolcad again repeated the words. Then the 
assembly went forth and the great portals of the high-chamber 
were closed. 
They celebrated according to custom, the great feast of 
Teacmor, and the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. 
When they assembled the second time, Fearmor, the chieftain 
of Cumar, arose, saying: Why stands the name of Elim on 
the roster of the kings of Errion? He was not elected by law 
nor by the practice of the election, he stole the Eisaon, was 
not the spoil found upon his person? He closed and locked the 





979 


great-portals of the high-chamber, what if his name be erased 
from the roll of the kings of Errion? And they took counsel 
on the question, but anger swayed many of them, so that they 
spoke unwisely. It was at this juncture that Failbe, the king 
of Mumain, arose and said: O fellow-kings and renowned 
nobles, Elim was to me a brother for that reason it is not meet 
that I should praise him. Yet will I assert without fear of con- 
tradiction that were Elim living no one would have heard the 
words of Fearmor. 

Elim marched with honored arms and panoplied to the land 
of Fearmor, but now the words of Fearmor are like the blast 
of a winter tempest, withering and doing evil. It is true Blath 
marched in his strength with the comlanns of Ullad against 
Elim, yet his words are kind and gentle like the waters of the 
Bandaman which laves the borders of Iblugad, his voice sooth- 
ing like the zepher from the south. If Blath would speak? At 
that all eyes were turned to Blath, the king of Ullad, as he 
arose, saying: Fellow-princes, some things which Elim did, 
even his friends cannot approve. Elim transgressed the law 
and the practice of Tanasteac, but has he not paid a great 
eric (fine) with his blood and death? Short and bitter was the 
career of Elim His body is beneath the carn, and his ambi- 
tion extinguished forever. Not so with the ever-living spirit 
of Roiteasac, his father, there exists no man far or near in any 
division of the world, who esteems the wonderful things achieved 
by man, but is interested in the fame and honor of Roiteasac! 
It is true Elim did not occupy the throne of Errinn, according 
to the established usage, still there is no word on the tract of 
the laws prohibiting what Elim did. Since there stands no word 
in the law, therefore Elim is not guilty, for one cannot .break 
a law which exists not? Moreover since Giolcad was Ardrig 
only during the nine days since this session began, it is there- 
fore my opinion: It is not well that it be related in future that 
Errion was a whole year without an Ardrig? For this reason 
what if the name of Elim shall stand after the name of Roi- 
teaseac, his father? What if words be written on the tract of 
the laws, saying: Prohibit no one who is a member of the 
general assembly to enter the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, 
when the assembly convenes. Do not hinder any one on his 


680 


way to Tabarta demanding his rights. In answer to the ques- . 
tion the whole assembly arose as one man and extended their i 
hands to Blath, the king oí Ullad. And Eagat, the Ardollam, 
said. 

“Doth not the spirit of Eocaid Ollam Eodla survive in Blath? 
May that spirit be ever-living!”’ And the words were written 
on the tract of the laws of Errion. In the seventh year of the 
reign of Giolcad, Failbe, the king of Mumain, died, and when 
the assembly of Mumain met on the Bruiteine, they elected . 
Ardfear, the son of Roiteasac, as king over Mumain. When 4 
Giolcad had reigned nine years he died. Giolcad was a haughty, 
shallow-minded man, his aspiration following nugatory things. 
Alas, he regarded as the heroic deed of a champion, his slaying 
of Elim, the son of Iber. 





VII. Book. X. Chapter. Reign of Ardfear (Arthur) son 
of Roiteasac, of the line of Iber, twelve years from 541 to 529. 
B. C. (See Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, vol. 1, page 60. 
Age of the world 4187. Also Ogigia III. Division. Chapter 
32, and the Annals of Clonmacnois.) 

After the death of Giolcad, Nuad, his brother, was chosen 
king of Gaalen. The swift curriers were dispatched through 


Errion to summon the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and . 


tribunes of the people to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. 
When the assembly convened in the first session they elected 
Ardfear, the son of Roiteasac, Ardrig. Then the general as- 
sembly came forth and the portals of the high-chamber were 
closed, and they celebrated the great feast of Teacmor and the 
games of prowess on the field of Tabarta. When they sat the 

second session, the words of the book of Chronicles were read . 
publicly, but on the last day of the session, the tract of the 
laws of Errion. When they had finished as customary, the 
heralds called with a great voice: Stands any being on Tabarta 
demanding justice? No voice answered. Blath returned to Uliad, 
and he ordered the master craftsmen, and the hammerers of 
Iron, copper and silver to construct for him chariots, and cars, 
after the models made by Roiteasac, erstwhile king in Mumain. 
When Baal came into the third division of Tionscnad (third 
week of March) Blath set out for the tents of the chieftain of 





681 


Maginse, and the princes, ollams, bards, and minstrels, of Ullad 
were in his train, and he pitched his pavillion in proximity to 
the tents of the chieftain, and invited him to attend the banquet 
at his board, and he spent four days in that Tanasteac, then he 
travelled to the southwest, and so completed his progress 
through all Ullad, for he said: In the days of Oilloil complaint 
came to ear, saying: The progress of the king wastes the face 
of the soil, even as Baal in his redheat, for that reason Oilloil 
refrained from his visits, saying: Let the princes and nobles 
and all come into my presence in Dunsoberce (Dunseverick). 
Blath will not refrain from the royal progress, he will travel 
over hill and vallies and sail over the waters of Ullad at will. 
But the king will pay in current coin the expense of himself and 
retinue out of the royal treasury. Let the people come and 
welcome to the pavillion of Blath. According to the invitation 
they came in multitudes into the presence of the king. Their 
spirits were elated and the hearts of the children of Ullad were 
joyous. The king went frequently to the Mur-n-ollavs and 
held converse with the professors and youths attending them. 
The king was truly gratified both with the system of teaching 
and the subjects taught. In these days Blath summoned the 
assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine. When the assembly sat 
the first session, the king arose, and said: O, great and high- 
born nobles of Ullad, you are summoned to the Bruiteine (fire 
or council hill) that you may manifest your will on this ques- 
tion: Forbid no one free passage to the Bruiteine of Ullad. 
And hinder no one from demanding justice on the Bruiteine 
of Ullad? The assembly answered as with a single voice: Yea, 
let it be so. And it was so. After Blath had reigned three and 
twenty years, Min, the Ardollam of Ullad died, and Allo was 
elected Ardollam in his place. What time Blath had completed 
the twenty-sixth year of his reign, he died, and great was the 
bitter weeping that arose in the land of Ullad, after the king, 
for he was a just and learned king, there was no kingly descend- 
ant of the line more praiseworthy than he. His carn stands 
in the meadows of Cluaneic. After the demise of Blath, the 
assembly of Ullad was summoned to the Bruiteine, but Cairbre, 
the son of Blath, did not come, he remained in Dunsoberce, 
therefore the princes and nobles went to Dunsoberce after 


682 


Cairbre. As soon as Cairbre understood that he was the choice 
oí Ullad, he said: Let the wish of Ullad be fulfilled. They 
caparisoned his steed, that he might ride to the Bruiteine, but 
Cairbre said: Hold, pride comes swiftly enough. Cairbre will 
travel on foot to the Bruiteine of Ullad. Cairbre was unani- 
mously elected king over Ullad. On the day of election I Allo, 
the Ardollam, stood and said: Certainly Cairbre will be royal 
and worthy like his race. 

This was the reply of Cairbre, the king: Is it not read in 
the writings of Eocaid Ollam Fodla: Praise blinds a person. 
What time Cairbre will lie beneath his carn, he will be truth- 
fully judged. I Allo received my rebuke humbly, for in fact I 
was guilty, yet I gloried in the wisdom of the King. Cairbre 
made seasonable visits through Ullad, as was the custom with 
his father. Teacmor Tabarta is lonely, except while the genera! 
assembly is in session. Ardfear, the Ardrig, is full of the spirit 
of his father. His mind is always occupied scrutinizing and 
seeking out difficult and abstruse matters. He brought water 
in great round conduits hand made, up into high places where 
no water had been forever before his time, a feat marvelous, 
wonderful to behold! He constructed a great stronghold with 
high walls, and outside the outer wall there was a moat very 


wide and very deep, and it was filled with water to the verge. . 


Lo, the wonder! Though the fortress was on a high hill, yet 
did the water flow up into it in a ceaseless stream. I Allo, the 
Ardollam wrote these words for I without doubt saw the mar- 
velous sight what time I was in Mumain. For this reason, king 
Ardfear is surnamed in Mumain, “Ardfear Imleac,”’ because he 
founded a city walled with mighty stones. King Ardfear is also 
surnamed in Mumain “Ardfear Rathlinn,”’ because he brought 
a torrent of waters so wonderful into the midst of the citadel. 
When Ardfear had reigned Ardrig twelve years he died, he 
was interred in the citadel, his carn stands beside that of his. 
father’s.

from 529 to 516 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland,

Fionnfail, also Ogigia II, division chapter 32, and the Annals 
of Clonmacnois.)

After the death of Ardfear, the Assembly of Munster met 
on the Bruiteine, and Breas, the son of Elim, was chosen king 
of Munster. At the same time the swift curriers went through 
Errion, summoning the general assembly to the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta. At the first session Nuad, king of Gaalen, 
was elected Ardrig over Errion, he was the son of Oilioll, the 
son of Siorna. After they had celebrated the great feast of 
Teacmor, and the games of prowess on the field of Tabarta. 
The words of the tract of the laws were read publicly, and the 
_herald proclaimed aloud: Stands anyone on Tabarta, demand- 
ing justice? No voice answered. The Assembly adjourned and 
the great portals of the high-chambers were closed. 

In the fourth year of the reign of Nuad, Allo, the ardollav, 
died. The ollavs from Druimscrit sat and the ollams from 
Druimmor and the ollams from Dunsoberce, and they elected 
Urla Ardollam of Ullad. This is the history of Nuad, during 
all his reign: His eyes downcast on the ground, his ears intent 
on the words from the mouth of the cromfir, and his mind wan- 
dering through the misty realms of the air. 

He enjoys neither music nor the dance, the chase nor the 
tales of ancient times, all his desire is centered in the mystic 
doings of the cromfir. Now Breas, the king of Mumain, married 
Aona, the sister of Nuad, so that what remained of Gaalen, from 
the sway of the cromfir, was ruled by Breas, the king of Mumain. 
And although Breas gave no orders to the ollavs to instruct the 
youth in science and philosophy, nevertheless he guided the 
youth of Mumain and Gaalen so that they became expert in 
the chase and in deer-hunting, in the arts of music and the 
dance, as well as skill in the feats of arms and the manoevers 
of the Phalanges. 


Ullad abides in peace and contentment under Cairbre, the 
king, for he follows earnestly in the footsteps of Eocaid Ollam 
Fodla. Nuad dwells constantly in Teacmor Tabarta. The gen- 
eral assembly of Errion convenes seasonably every third year, 
and the words are read according to practice. 

When Nuaid had reigned thirteen years, he died. He 
achieved little, so that he left little more than his name to be 
written on the books of Chronicles of Errion.

VIII. Book. II. Chapter. Reign of Breas, son of Elim, of 
the line of Iber., nine years from 516 to 507 B. C. (See Annals 
of the kingdom of Ireland, Vol. I, page 60. Age world 4239, 
under the name Breasrig. Keating and the Annals of Clonn.) 





When the assembly of Gaalen sat on the Bruiteine Hugh, 
the son of Nuad was elected king over Gaalen. In like manner 
when the general assembly of Errion sat in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta, they elected Breas, the son of Elim, of 
the line of Iber, Ardrig. The writings are read and the great 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest are celebrated, ac- 
cording to custom, on the campus of Tabarta. No one stood on 
Tabarta demanding justice. And the general assembly ad- 
journed, each going to the place of his abode in his native king- 
dom. When Cairbre had reigned a score and four years, it 
transpired that a tempest beaten boat touched on the strand in 
the bay of the waters of the Foist to the west of Dunsoberce. 
In this small boat were six young men and a boy. A gale blew 
them across the narrow sea to the east of Errion. Neilte and 
his children espied the men when on the point of being wrecked 
and drowned in the mighty foam-crested waves. They ran 
quickly to their neighbors and rescued the little crew from the 
savage sea. Then Neilte conducted the strangers to his tents, 
and the women prepared food for them. And as they spoke 
to each other the men of Ullad, standing about, understood them. 
After they had refreshed and rested themselves, Nelite inquried: 
Whence are you, my good men? And one of them answered: 
We are from Bruitan (Britain). And Neilte said to them: If 
you please, we will go to the palace of the king, at hearing this 
they were seized by panic and great fear, but Neilte’s wife, as 
soon as she perceived their terror stricken condition, said: Fear 
not, your father or even your mother could not receive you more 
gently than the king. Blest is he who stands in presence of 
the king who rules over Ullad! So Neilte and his wife and 
Serb set out with the young men and the stripling to Dun- 
soberce. When they arrived at the outer castles, the guards 
informed them that Cairbre, the king, rode that day to the chase. 
When the king returned from the hunt, and hearing the report 
of the men, he said: Bring them to me and welcome them and 











68a 


their escort in the tents of the king. It was related to the 
king their panic when they saw the cavalry troops and the 
armed comlanns, gleaming in their mail and bronze, as they 
manoevoured around Dunsoberce. The king said: Bring them 
into my presence, and they were conducted into Cairbre’s 
presence. The king saw the fear that was upon them, for 
they trembled greatly, and the king smiling, said to Neilte: 
Bid them to have no fear, rest today in the tents of the king, 
tomorrow he will speak to you. The following day Cairbre 
said: Conduct the strangers into my presence. I Urla stood 
before the king and the book of Chronicles open, the six young 
men and the boy were ushered into the presence in the royal 
chamber together with Neilte, his wife and Serb, but Neilte’s 
wife hesitated at the door of the audience chamber, but the 
king said: Let the good woman enter, so that she too, may 
hear the story of the men she helped to rescue from the sea. 
And Cairbre sat, and I Urla beside him. And Cairbre said: 
A story often repeated, though it tires the narrator, gives pleasure 
to one hearing it the first time, sit down. The strangers looked 
at each other with wonder, and Neilte’s wife warned them: 
Wherefore do you not sit, did you not hear the orders of the 
king? And thev sat down, not on the seats, but on the ground. 
Then Cairbre interrogated them: Whence are you, my good 
men? And one of the young men stood and lifting up his voice, 
said: This man here is my brother, and the four yonder are 
brothers also, the little boy is the son of my sister. Now it 
transpired not long since that a maiden, the sister of this boy’s 
mother watched her brother’s house until they should return 
from the hills, when a company of youths came and captured 
her and bore her away over the waves toward Inmenar. When 
they heard the misfortune, they sent a messenger to us, we called 
those the sons of our father’s brother, we rowed our boat on 
the world of waters, not long until a great gale drove our boat 
from the direction of Inmenar to this shore, on which now we 
stand in the presence of its king. 

Neilte and Serb understood the dialect of the youth better 
than the king or Urla, so Neilte interpreted to us the meaning 
of all the words. When the young man had finished his talk, 
he drew close to the feet of Cairbre, begging piteously: If the 


686 


king would dismiss and let us go that we may search íor Inta 
for it was on her knee, Moran was reared? The king replied 
kindly to him: Tomorrow thou shalt go thy way, my child! 
The king said to Neilte: Ask them if they know whence 
their fathers came? And they answered: That they were of 
the race of the Gaal from Breocean (Brigantes) in Gaalag. Our 
fathers came in the ships of the buyers and sellers to Bruitan 
to work in the mines and in the bowels of the earth. And the 
merchants of Feine thought to hold our fathers without wages 
in the mines of Dunmianac. But in those days our fathers 
broke away by violence, and marched away under the fingers 
of Baal, and settled along the waters of the great sea, and 
dwelt where we dwell now. Cairbre inquired a word about the 
king of the place, but the men knew of none such, they heard 
that there was a chieftain higher than the chieftains who ruled 
over them. The king inquired their mode of warfare and bat- 


tle, they had heard of such, but as they resided along the great ~ | 


sea, they had no practice in battle or the tactics of the com- 
lann. War was distant from them. Many other things the 
king asked of them, but indeed they were very ignorant, for 
though they lived on the shore of the great sea, yet they had 
never sailed to Inmenar (Island of Manaanan.) And the king . 
ordered: Tarry today in the tents of the king, tomorrow go 
your way. And Caibre instructed Urla: Give to the youth 
every thing necessary, and sufficient stores since they are far 
from their homes and kindred. The king bestowed on Neitle’s 
wife, a bolt of cloth, but to Neilte himself, and to Serb, he gave 
seven choice heifers, saying: Receive these heifers as an act 
of thanks from your king for the kindness you have shown to 
the ship-wrecked descendants of our race in another land. 

The strangers said may Baal prosper all the days of the 
king. And they went away, when they came to Neitle’s house 
they asked for their boat. And lo—there was a small bark from 
the king’s navy full rigged and provisioned, awaiting them in 
the place of the frail little currac in which they came, the king’s 
boat rode at anchor in the Foist and the six strangers and the 
stripling embarked and set sail in the sight of many children 
of the soil. The bark sailed over the face of the waters toward 
the east, and peace and happiness went with the crew except 








687 


alone the loss oí Inta. In those days a gigantic heap slid from 
the crest of Ronard, and it swept down the great mountain 
side and did not stop until it had precipitated itself on the plain. 
Since it occurred so suddenly and during the darkness of the 
night, it destroyed three hearths of the gaal killing every mem- 
ber of the families. 

Now the appointed time for the assembly of Teacmor Tab- 
arta was at hand, and Cairbre and his retinue set out. Now 
what time Cairbre arrived at Tabarta, the winds blew and the 
rain fell in torrents, and Cairbre dwelt in his pavillion many 
days and he fell sick and his illness grew worse, and Cairbre 
said it was his wish and greatest desire to be in Ullad, and Urla 
besought the king to remain on Tabarta until he recovered, but 
he would not remain. For this reason we marched toward Dun- 
soberce, and Min, the chieftain of Arddeas and I Urla were in 
attendance with the king and his retinue. As we reached the 
tents of Arddeas, Cairbre went no further, when he perceived 
that he was on the point of death, he said to Min and to me 
Urla: When I expire, bury my body in this land for is not 
Ardeas in the kingdom of Ullad? 

Cairbre breathed his last in the embrace of Urla. As soon as 
Cairbre expired, Min sent a messenger in haste with word to 
the princes and nobles on Tabarta: That Cairbre was dead. 
As soon as Breas, the Ardrig, heard it, he commanded the 
' heralds: Call the assembly together into the high-chamber of 
Teacmor Tabarta. Ardrig stood in the midst ot the general 
assembly, and said: Fellow kings and high princes of Errion, 
Cairbre, the king of Ullad, is dead, he lies in his lasting sleep 
in the tents of Min, in Ardeas, Ardrig would stand at the carn 
of Cairbre, and the whole assembly arose, saying: We too, 
would accompany Ardrig. When Ardrig and the princes and 
nobles, and a great host were convened ready to start, and the 
king of Gaalen and his princes and nobles, and the prince of 
Ib-Lugad, and the king of Ultonnmact and his princes and nobles, 
it was a countless host, having the appearance of an army clad 
in armor and bearings arms. Then Fionn, the oldest son of 
Caibre stood, saying: What if the arms and shields be left at 
-Tabarta? Cairbre will be buried in Ullad. The spirit of Cairbre 
loves peace and quiet. There will be no war song chanted over 


683 


Cairbre. Indeed the eyes of the children of Ullad are not ac- 
customed to see the comlanns scintillating with mail and arms 
when the death cry is raised about the carn of the king. 

Therefore they left their arms and all the warlike paraphar- 
nalia of the comlanns at Tabarta. And arraying themselves in 
the closed cloak, they marched forth. The carn of Cairbre was 
completed, I Urla sung the death lamentation, though in truth 
it was Fearadan, the poet laureate (file Arddeas) who composed 
the words of the elegy. Are they not among the writings of 
the bards in the library of Dunsoberce? Ardrig and all thechost 
returned to Teacmor Tabarta except the division from Ullad, 
which returned to the land of their dwelling. On summoning 
the assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine, Fionn, the son of Cairbre, 
was elected king over Ullad. When Fionn had reigned a year, 
as I stood in his presence in the royal chamber in Dunsoberce, 
he said: O Urla, are the words of the book of Chronicles ex- 
amined in Mur-n-ollam before they are read publicly on the 
Bruiteine? And I answered: I have not examined them. Then 
he commanded: Read me the days of Cairbre, and I read them. 
After hearing them, the king said: Certainly it is well that I 
desired to hear them; for Urla has not recorded the story of the 
young chieftains of Mis and Glenadun, nor of the true friend- 
ship and love that existed between them. Urla answered him: 
Such subjects belong to the writings of the bards in the book 
of poems (leabar na rann) which is in the Mur-n-ollam of Dun- 
soberce. The king said again: I see no word written in the 
book of the fall of the mighty crag of Ronard? And the word 
of the king was just, so I wrote the story in its proper place 
in the book of Chronicles in the presence of the king. When 
Breas had reigned nine years he expired. His name is written 
on the roster of kings: “Breasrig.” For he said Elim, my 
father, was Ardrig, therefore Breas is certainly the son of a 
king.

689 


When the assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine, 
Duac, brother of Breasrig, was chosen king, the same time swift 
messengers went through Errion summoning the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the Gaal to the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta. When the general assembly sat, the 
Ardollav arose, saying: O, most noble sires, the throne of 
Errion is empty. Now the choice of the assembly inclined to 
Fionn, king of Ullad, but it happened at that juncture that 
Fionn was constrained to his bed by sickness, and lo, the sick- 
ness was like unto the sleep of death, for a time he remained 
just as one dead except alone that his body remained warm. 
On this account Eocaid, the son of Fionn, of Ith, was elected 
Ardrig over Errion. The assembly adjourned and the great 
portals of the high-chamber were closed. They celebrated ac- 
cording to practice, the feast of Teacmor, and the games of 
contest on the field of Tabarta. After the nine days the assembly 
sat the second session, the words of the book of Chronicles and 
the tract of the laws of Errion were read publicly. When fin- 
ished the heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on Tabarta de- 
manding justice? As no one answered the great portals were 
closed, and the assembly dispersed each to the land of his dwell- 
ing. Now when Eocaid had reigned a full year and two divisions 
he died. A disgusting rumor doth allege that the flesh rotted 
on his body while he still lived. They bore his remains with 
them to the principality of Ib-Lugad and there interred him, 
his carn in proximity to Dunciernma, looketh out over the great 
sea! 





IV. chapter. Reign of Fionn, son of Cairbre, king of Ullad, 
as Ardrig twenty years from 506 to 486 B. C. (Under name 
“Fionn, son of Bratha.”) 

“Fionn, son of Brath.”) 





After the death of Eocaid Ardrig, as the assembly sat in 
the high-chamber, the Ardollav arose, and said: O noble 
princes, the throne of the Ardrig of Errion is vacant, what is 
your wish? And Fionn, the king of Ullad was unanimously 
elected Ardrig of Errion. When they had fulfilled the practice 
with regard to the writings and the celebration of the games, 


690 


they adjourned for their dwellings and Fionn set out for Dun- 
soberce. 

He resided in Ullad the three years since the time of his 
election as Ardrig. He made a royal progress through Ullad 
every year, paying the expenditures from the royal treasury 
as usual. Fionn studied the days of Eocaid Ollav Fodla as his 
exemplar. None of the line surpassed Fionn in magnificence, 
nobility or princly aspirations. His every word is truth, his 
way is the path of justice! Now it transpired when Baal was 
in the first day of the second division of Meas (August) in the 
third year of Fionn as Ardrig, there came to Dunsoberce, a 
warrior and two young men dressed in military attire, shields 
on the right shoulder and swords at thigh, followed by three 
attendants carrying their spears and axes of battle. They came 
in peace. When the party came into the presence of the king, 
thus spoke the warrior: I am Tirlorg, son of Glaisde, of the 
chieftains of Bruitan, who stands in your presence. O king, 
this young man is the son of Breint, the chieftain of Oirbaal, 
and this one is my sister’s son. Four years ago tempest driven 
men came to this land from Bruitan, according to the words 
heard by Brent, and that a mighty and all-conquering king ruled 
in this land, and that the people of the land came from the Gaal 
Scuit Iber from Ib-Breocaen to the west of Buasce, the place 
where dwelt our ancestors in olden times. We came from Brent, 
the chieftain, to say: That our enemy lives to the south of us 
in houses of stone in the sight of our right eyes, the sea behind 
us, and the tents of the Gaal sparsely scattered to the eastward. 
The Gaal goeth forth to war with each other frequently, but 
the common enemy always remains united as one. For this 
reason Brent sent us hither to say: O king of this land, give 
us protection and aid, thy brothers, against our enemies in our 
land, and we will fight for you against any enemy who may 
molest your boundaries. 

When he had finished his talk the attendants laid the axes 
of battle and spears before Fionn, then Tirlorg added: here you © 
have the weapons with which the enemy of the Gaal fight. Fionn 
answered him: My brave warrior, it is written in the tract of 
the laws of Errion: The comlanns of the Gaal must not march 
out of Errion forever! Such are words of the law. Therefore 








591 


there can be no treaty except a covenant of peace between us. 
With that Fionn said: Though it be not lawful for the Gaal 
. to march out of Errion to succor you, nevertheless your journey 
may not be in vain, if you carry back to the Gaal of your land, 
this good counsel: Thus spoke Fionn, king of Ullad, Ardrig of 
Errion: O, Gaal of Iber, shun the destroying way of civil 
strife and internecine slaughter and walk in the wide road of 
fraternal love and friendship, be hand to hand, heart to heart, 
comlann to comlann united as one man. Do this, O Gaal, and 
the hosts of your enemy will be unable to overcome you! Listen 
to the words of Eocaid Ollav Fodla, the wise: O son, the way 
down to slavery is wide and easy, but difficult, sore, trying is 
the return. Fionn also asked for an account of Breint? They 
replied that Breint was the chieftain, that he was the son of 
Drom, of the line of Bluas, that Bluas was the bold leader who 
led the Gaal from out the bowels of the earth where they were 
imprisoned to labor for the merchants of Feine in the last moun- 
tains of the land southward. The cromfir belong to the second 
order under Breint, the chieftains do nothing without the con- 
sideration and counsel of the cromfir. Fionn inquired if they 
had a tract of laws or a book of Chronicles of the Gaal, but 
indeed Tirlorg had heard of none such. The story of the people 
came from mouth to ear. Therefore their knowledge and in- 
struction is small. Fionn said to them: Tarry with me in 
Ullad yet a while, and the banquet was ready to honor them, 
there were athletic games, music and the dance, and harp music 
and tales of ancient times. Then the minstrels gave the lay of 
Banna and Fearmor, celebrating how she came across the waves 
of the sea, big with the child of Fearmor, from Dunmianac, so 
that her babe might draw the first breath of its life in its native 
land of Errion. And as she came to the shore how she kissed 
the soil even as a brave warrior returning kisses his true love! 

The hunts-men gathered for the chase, but Tirlorg, and his 
young warriors followed on foot, for they had no knowledge 
nor skill in rough riding. On the day of Tirlorg’s departure 
Fionn commanded that three chariots be made ready, the king 
and Tirlog rode in one of them, the young men in the second, 
but the third was loaded with valuables as presents for Breint, | 
there followed also five hounds chosen for their worth in the 


693 


chase, as a gift for the son oí Breint. A company of chieftains 
rode as an escort to the king to the port of the Foist where the 
bark of Tirlorg was anchored. Fionn said to Tirlorg: O, Tir- 
lorg, it grieves my heart that an ignorance so heavy overlieth 
the land of the Gaal in Bruitan. Therefore when thou shalt 
stand among the people of thy race, say to them: What though 
the king of Ullad will not send armed comlanns for war, be- 
cause the law prohibits, but he will send and welcome messen- 
gers of peace the ollavs teachers of knowledge, they will instruct 
you in the science of Eterial and Eocaid Ollav Fodla,” whose 
writings, though they lie beneath the carn, teach peoples to 
place the bridle of reason on their wayward desires all the days 
of their lives. If an individual lives as it behooveth, his name 
will remain immortal in the chronicles of his times. If he has 
achieved heroic deed his spirit will be still among his people! 
Three score years ago the body of Eocaid Ollav Fodla was 
placed under the carn, his flesh and his bones have commingled 
with the dust of his kind, but the fire of his spirit is immortal! 
As Fionn uttered the foregoing words the strangers were suff- 
ciently instructed to follow their trend. Then Fionn said: Per- 
haps you will not remember, O Tirlorg, all that the king of Ullad 
has said: Briefly they are this: Let not the Gaal of Bruitan 
go beyond their own boundaries for the purpose of conquest, 
if another nation invade Oirbaal let the warriors be as one. to 
expell the enemy or to give him burial in the land, be brave, 
be heroic of heart, and fear not. Fionn gave the hand of friend- 
ship to Tirlorg, saying: May the light of knowledge guide 
your way, health and victory to you! So Tirlorg set sail, and 
Fionn and his retinue returned to Dunsoberce. At this juncture 
the swift messengers went forth according to practice to sum- 
mon the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the 
people, to the general assembly of Teacmor Tabarta. The day 
on which the general assembly came to session, Morda, the 
chieftain of Magglein arose, saying: People of a strange tribe 
came to Dunsoberce, and dwelt with Ardrig many days? What 
if we inquire into the matter? If Ardrig would speak? Fionn 
arose and said: Urla, the Ardollam of Ullad, will read in the 
hearing of the assembly every word relating to the subject. 
And Urla arose, saying: The book of Chronicles is in the Mur- 








693 


n-ollav of Teacmor. Tomorrow Urla will bring them into your 
presence. The following day Urla arose and read the words 
of the roll from the day that Tirlorg arrived in Dunsoberce until 
he set sail in his bark. When Urla had finished the reading, 
the whole assembly arose, inclining their heads and extending 
their hands to Ardrig. And Denan, the Ardollav of Teacmor, 
said aloud: Certainly the spirit of Eocaid Ollam Fodla is in 
Fionn, the son of Cairbre! When Fionn had reigned seven 
years, Urla died, then the ollams of Druimscrit, Druimmor, and 
Dunsoberce held a convention in the Mur-n-ollav of Dunsoberce, 
and they elected Beirid as Ardollam of Ullad in place of Urla. 
In the eleventh year of the reign of Fionn, Aoda, the king of 
Gaalen, died after a rule of one and twenty years. And when 
the assembly of Gaalen met on the Bruitenine, they elected 
Oilliol, son of Aoda, king over Gaalen. Fionn dwells in Tabarta, 
_ he appointed Seadna, his son, viceroy in Ullad, and he appointed 
the chieftain of Iargaal and Ardtan to assist Seadna, notwith- 
standing Fionn comes every year to Dunsoberce. Fionn was 
a clever operator on the harp, but his horses and hounds were 
the pride of all Errion, he succors the weak, and subdues the 
pride of the cromfir, he restrains the judges within the law, 
he remits the imperial taxes (ardcios) every third year to Ultonn- 
mact. Ullad, Ultonnmact and Geintir of the Firgneath have 
given their hearts to Fionn. When Fionn had reigned eighteen 
years he said to Seadna, his son: I behold a tempest gathering 
in Gaalen and in Mumain. Give the comlanns frequent exercise 
in the practice of war, prepare also the cavalry (marcsluag) and 
the batallions of archers and slingers. When Fionn had reigned 
nineteen years, he sent the swift curriers through Errion with 
letters saying: When Baal will have come into his house 
Iarsgith, let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes 
of the people assemble in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
in the presence of Fionn, Ardrig of Errion. After the first session 
they went forth to celebrate the feast of Teacmor and the games 
of contest on the field of Tabarta. Now, since it transpired that 
this was the ninth time the general assembly sat in the days 
of Fionn, he therefore extended the celebration over twenty-nine 
days to make it memorable. When they had finished, the assem- 
bly sat the second session, and Leirag, the chief judge of Errion, 


694 

arose in the midst of the assembly and, mounting a rostrum, he 
read publicly the tract of the laws of Errion and the practice of 
Tanasteac. The following day Denan read the writings of Eolus, 
and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag publicly, and on the third 
day I, Beirid, read aloud the book of the Chronicles of Errion. 
And every mind was filled with gladness. Then the heralds 
went forth proclaiming: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding 
justice? No voice answered. The assembly dispersed and Fionn, 
the princes, chieftains, ollavs, and the tribunes of the people set 
out for Dunsoberce. 

Now, on the second day of Baal’s entrance into his house, 
Tionnscnad (Mar. 2) Fionn expired in Dunsoberce. Now, Fionn 
had not gathered into his treasure houses talents of gold and 
ingots of silver. he did not pile up untold riches nor countless 
flocks and herds for he warned the questors (firciosa) at their 
peril not to harass the Gaal, he even remitted to the Danaan a 
third of the imperial taxes. There was deep lamentation in 
Ullad and sincere sorrow in all Errion after Fionn! His carn

VIII BOOK, V CHAPTER. | 
REIGN OF SEADNA, FIFTEEN YEARS, FROM 486 TO 
; 471 B.C. 


(See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland, Vol. I., page 62, under 
name Seadna Ionnarad, also Annals Clonmacnois.) 


When the assembly of Ullad came together on the Bruiteine, 
they elected Seadna, the son of Fionn, king over Ullad. When 
the general assembly of Errion convened at Tabarta, they elected 
Seadna king of Ullad Ardrig over Errion. In the third year of 
the reign of Seadna, when the general assembly were at Tabarta, 
it transpired that the tempest which Fionn foresaw, broke forth, 
and its noise was heard over the face. of the whole land. Word 
came to the ear of Duac, son of Breasrig, who wedded the sister 


695 


of Seadna, saying: Oilliol, the king of Gaalen, has spoken to 
Duac, king of Mumain, saying: Ultonnmact and Geintir of the 
Firgneath are partisans of Ullad, for this reason they are stronger 
than we. Let there be a covenant between us, let us three 
(Gaalen, Mumain, Ib-Lugad) be as one. . 

Now, the word went from the mouth of Duac to the ear of 
Seadna. And because the general assembly of Errion was con- 
vened at Tabarta, Seadna related the words of Duac to Thorl, 
king of Ultonnmact. With that he said: At a time when peace 
obtained in Errion, my father taught me the practice of the 
comlann, saying: Although not needed now, it would be well 
to keep the army well ordered and under frequent practice of 
war tactics, for I foresee a mother of mischief, and a tempest 
gathering in the south. The spirit of wisdom was in my father. 
The storm-cloud is breaking over Errion. Let Throl take coun- 
sel and afterwards he will speak to Seadna. Perhaps Thorl will 
say: I shall remain in Ultonnmact? Perhaps Thorl will incline 
to the enemies of Ullad? Thorl answered: The words had no 
sooner left the mouth of Seadna than the mind of Thorl was 
formed. Thorl will stand against the enemies of Seadna and of 
Ullad. Let not Seadna think that Thorl will forget his pledged 
word because given so quickly. Thorl will fulfill every item he 
has pledged. 

Now also the cromfir began their conspiring, and their rumors, 
their agents came now from Gaalen now from Mumain to whis- 
per to the ears of the cromfir of Ullad saying: By Baal let us all 
be of one mind through all Errion. It is from Gaalen that digni- 
- ties, and profit will spring for the cromfir, What concerns it to us 
which is Gaalen, Mumain, or Ullad, are we not every one of us 
the cromfir of Baal the highest? This word came to the ear: of 
Geirid the chieftain of Eidersiar, and he sent the word without 
delay to me Beirid, and I forwarded them by the mouth of a 
trusty messenger to the king at Teacmor Tabarta for I was at 
that time in Dunsoberce. 

When the king came to Ullad I related to him the deeds of 
the comfir, and Seadna answered: The cromfir can set the fire 
blazing but they cannot extinguish it, I know and thou knowest 
that though they speak peace their desire is war? The princes 
and the nobles will not listen to them. The teaching of the 


696 
ollavs will prevail with the children of Ullad rather than the 
folly of the cromfir. The mind of Seadna was troubled for he 
loved peace. Now probably Errion would have preserved peace 
but for the live deeds of the Muredac, Muredac was the son of 
Nuaid, sometime Ardrig, he was a son of evil-counsel, he coveted 
evil and bloodshed. He transgressed every limit of the law. He 
bridled none of his evil propensities. His evil record grew apace. 
His anger was like a mountain torrent, quick-swelling, headlong, 
savage. His envy was like a blazing fire. Nothing came into 
his seething brain, or into his mind, or into his heart, that he 
did not perpetrate with his hand, more especially if it were dis- 
tasteful, deadly, or grievous either to the heart or spirit of man. 
This felon perpetrated crimes the like of which had not been 
committed before in Errion, yea indeed such as it was not 
thought possible to do, for the clean-spirited Eocaid did not even 
mention such in the laws he formulated. The Muredac collected 
about himself a company of noble youth whom he degraded in 
body and mind. He took no rest until they were impure, de- 
graded, lustful, guilty, ready, hand-active, foot-swift to accom- 
plish any inordinate desire which his evil heart conceived! 

In those days the Muredac came to the tents of Siorna his 
brother in order that he would initiate him in his band, and Raolt 
the son of Fail chieftain of Ib-Dronag was with Siorna. Siorna 
held conversation with Muredac his brother advising him to 
return to the ways of justice, and as Siorna followed him too 
sharply, the Muredac said: Let the complaining tongue be 
silent except in the hearing of him who needs the chiding, if 
Siorna would come some day to the tents of his brother who . 
loves him so dearly and there in private would speak his thoughts 
to him? But he said nothing to Raolt, and Siorna went to the 
tents of the Muredac, and after one month word began to be 
spread far and wide: That Siorna was nowhere to be found, 
the rumor sped on to the hearing of Raolt, and he recollected 
the words of Siorna: I will go to the tents of my brother to 
turn him from his evil ways. Raolt always meditated over the 
possibilities of the desperate treachery of the Muredac. Raolt 
levied a company of youths (soldiers were so termed) and said 
to them: ‘There is no trace of Siorna the king’s brother and 
Raolt’s friend anywhere, he also mentioned the Muredac saying: 








697 


I will go single handed to seek my friend. 

I can suffer to remain here no longer! But the youths replied: 
Whither soever thou shalt go, thither will we go with thee. With 
that they marched forward, and when they approached the vi- 
cinity of the Muredac’s encampment they met a man and they 
captured him and demanded his story of the words that floated 
about relative to Siorna. And when the captive saw a man of 
his own tribe and kindred among the company of Raolt, and 
they kissed and embraced one another, and he whispered in his 
ear: O son of Dronag wherein is Siorna? The captive answered 
him: Four days ago Muredac went fishing over the waters of 
the land to the west. Listen to my words for there will be but 
short tarry for me after the telling. You behold the fortress of 
the Muredac, go forward until you come to a stream, do not cross 
but turn to the left, and follow until you come to a second brook, 
cross it and keep the right bank until you reach a footpath going 
to the left follow it three hundred paces. You will see a thicket 
of bushes, which seem to end the path, but if you part the bushes 
you will find the mouth of a cave, in it lies Siorna. When they 
_ set him free he said: Baal and victory to you, for if I remain 
longer I will pay dearly. So Raolt traced the way and the whole 
company followed to the mouth of the cave, and Raolt entered 
and found the dead body of Siorna, and they carried it forth, 
and the youth cut saplings for a bier and they bore the remains 
of Siorna back to the land of their dwelling, and great was the 
cortege that went with the bearers for Siorna was well beloved 
by the children of the land. As soon as the Muredac heard what 
had transpired he quickly returned to his own stronghold. But 
the man who gave the information where Siorna lay dead came 
quickly to the land of Siorna for a great fear fell upon him. 
The Muredac swore by Baal, Re, and Tarsnasc, that he would 
take vengeance on Raolt. He threatened that he would begin 
with fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet and that he 
would cut off an inch every day until he died. When Raolt 
heard the oath of the Muredac, he said: The Muredac should 
have sworn by the evil spirits of the legion of Bathmon (Cata- 
bathmon) what has such a felon as he to do with Baal, Re, and 
Tarsnasc? 

So Raolt set out to Teacmor and told Seadna Ardrig the 


698 

deeds and saying of the Muredac. But Ardrig answered: Such 
iníormation pertains to the ear oí the judge. So Raolt told 
them to Meirtar the judge, and the words were written down, 
and a currier was dispatched to the land of the Muredac with 
a jury warrant (ceist-cluastig) saying: Let Muredac, a prince 
of Gaalen, stand in his place in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
to answer concerning the death of his brother Siorna. This 
was the message the Muredac returned: Meirtar will answer 
with his life blood flowing from the mouth of every vein in 
his body. And word went round that the Muredac was frenzied 
with anger. Now the day of the convening of the general as- 
sembly of Errion on Tabarta, arrived. When they sat in the 
first session the chair of the Muredac was empty, and Meirtar, 
the chief-judge, arose saying: Let the heralds call the name of 
Muredac on Tabarta. But the Muredac did not answer. Then 
Enid, the chieftain of Oir, arose saying: 

What if the charge of Raolt be heard? The chief-judge re- 
plied: We cannot, the law forbids hearing an indictment against 
any one in his absence. Again Enid stood, saying: O high- 


rulers of Errion, will it be said in future that we tamely desisted 


for the words of the law, when a crime so atrocious has been 
committed? And Ardrig arose, saying: O thrice gentle fellow 
princes, may it be always said that the kings, princes, nobles, 
and every child of the soil, obeyed when the tract of the law 
of Errion commanded. And Fail, the chieftain of Ib-Dronag, said: 
Therefore will not the cause of the death of Siorna be investi- 
gated? Ardrig answered No, that is not the proper proceedure, 
let the judge read the word of the law on the case. And the 
judge read them. And Ardrig commanded: proceed according 
to the words of the law. Let Muredac be seized and taken 
hither to give answer. Without finishing the first session the 
assembly went forth to await the coming of the Muredac into 
the presence of the judge. After a time the general assembly 
sat again, and Meirtar, the chief-judge, said: The chief-judge 
of Errion hath not sufficient power to produce Muredac as a 
prisoner before the general assembly, because he has over three 
thousand men quick-of-hand as a body guard with him. Then 
Ardrig arose and said: What if Muredac be captured by force? 
And the assembly answered unanimously: Yea, so let it be 


| 


| 








699 


done. Then there marched íor his capture a company oí trackers 
and two comlanns. 

His chosen body guard did not stand a single charge; They 
carried the Muredac a captive chained like a wild beast gone 
mad, to Tabarta; now when he entered the high-chamber he 
took his place among the princes oí Gaalen. But the chieítain 
of Ib-Dronag arose, saying: I confess to the mighty princes 
of this great assembly and I inquire of them if it be just and 
lawful for one stained with fratricidal blood to sit among the 
princes of his line? Ardrig arose, answering: Thrice gentle 
fellow princes in the sight of the law no man is guilty until the 
charge against him is proven, it is possible that the indictment 
may be shown false by hearing witnesses. The charge against 
Muredac has not been proven yet, therefore if Fail will abide 
patiently until the cause is heard? And it was so. Then the 
chief-judge arose, saying: Let Muredac appoint his legal repre- 
sentative to answer for him, and give the names of the wit- 
nesses who will testify in his cause? But the Muredac answered 
not a single word, he turned his eyes around on the assembly 
here and there, up and down, now mockingly, now fiercely. 
Again Meirtar repeated the same words publicly. But the Mure- 
dac opened not his lips. Then Ardrig arose, saying: It will be 
the duty of the chief-judge to produce Muredac in his proper 
place when the assembly sits the second session that he may 
answer. The assembly went out and the great portals were 
closed. They celebrated according to custom the feast of Teac- 
mor and the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. After the 
nine days the assembly convened for the second session, and 
the Muredac was in his place, and the name of Raoilt was called 
as a witness, and Raoilt came into the presence, and stood in 
the hearing of the Muredac and the assembly, and lifting the 
right hand he swore by Baal, Re, and Tarsnac, invoking the 
spirit of Siorna, and said: On a certain day I sat with Siorna 
in his pavillion, and Muredac likewise came, and Siorna began 
to blame him, Muredac, on account of his evil life. The anger 
of Muredac blazed forth, saying: It would be better if Siorna 
would come to his dwelling and there privately to give his ad- 
vice. He was angry because Siorna spoke in presence of Raoilt. 
Siorna answered I will go to thee O brother, and then after a 


700 


time word came to Ib-Dronag: Siorna is nowhere to be found. 
Raoilt remembered the words of Siorna and the wrath of Mure- 
dac, for that reason he gathered together a company, and set 
out for the tents of Muredac. One of the common soldiers of 
my company met a relative of his own tribe, and they had a 
talk, and he told him where Siorna could be found, the youth 
was Camoid by name who conducted us to the mouth of the 
cave, and when Raoilt entered he found Siorna his friend, and 
we carried the body of Siorna to his own land and it was there 
we made his carn. Camoid’s friend will tell the rest.- The 
chief-judge said: What answer doth Muredac give to the words 
of Raoilt? But the Muredac did not answer a word. The name 
of Braid was called, and Braid came into the presence of the 
assembly, and he called Baal to witness the words of his mouth, 
saying: I am Braid of the tribe of Cluaindeas, the retainers of 
Muredac enrolled me for a stipend as a common soldier for the 
prince’s comlann and many an act I did in it to my red-shame. 
But Ardrig ordered him through Meirtar: Hold patient O 
youth, you are not called to testify against yourself, but of the 
cause concerning Muredac. The Braid said: On a certain day 
Muredac was in his pavillion and Siorna, now dead, with him 
and at a signal preconcerted between us: As soon as Muredac 
began to talk roughly and fiercely to his brother, three other men 
and myself rushed into the pavillion, and Muredac ordered us 
to bind with tight fetters his hands, and feet, and they together 
and to take him to the cave we knew so well, and we fulfilled 
the command of Muredac. Afterwards I asked Muredac: Who . 
shall bring food and drink to the cave? But he answered: What 
is it to thee, thou son of adultry? I spied without ceasing but 
I saw no one at all going in that direction, on the third day I 
stole in mortal fear to the mouth of the cave carrying a little 
food and drink; and I called on the name of Siorna, and I heard 
no voice in response, therefore I entered and I found Siorna 
stiff in death. I ran quickly from the place and thought to 
speak of the awful occurence to no one from the fear that pos- 
sessed me. But as soon as the company of youths under Raoilt 
came seeking Siorna, I could not refrain from telling the murder 
that transpired, and I likewise conducted their footsteps to the 
cave where Siorna lay in death. My guilt is more than I can 











“01 


bear! And Meirtar, the chief-judge, said: What doth Muredac 
“answer to the words of Braid? And Muredac still seated, for 
he would not respect the assembly by arising, said: What 
answer will a prince of Iolar make to his common enemies? 
What saith Raoilt, the friend of Siorna, but the treacherous 
enemy of Muredac, but repeat the words of Camoid? I have 
not heard that Camoid affirms, nay even the informer Braid that 
I murdered Siorna? Siorna rebuked me without cause, I was 
angry, there is your case. But what if I thought for the future 
to restrain him from making his unwise chidings in the hearing 
of my treacherous enemies, by making him suffer some small 
annoyance? So I said to them, take and bear him from my sight 
to the cave for he tires me with his puling advice. I could not 
suppose they would abandon him there. Siorna died because my 
ignorant retainers did more than I, Muredac, a prince of [Iolar, 
commanded them to do. That is Muredac’s answer to you. 
Then the chief-judge said: You have heard the witnesses Raoilt 
and Braid, as well as the answer, what is your will? Will the 
words of the tract of the law be read? But the assembly sat 
in silence, and the Muredac arose thinking to go free, when 
Ardrig said: No, do not permit the Muredac to go free yet. 
What if the witnesses have not sworn before the jury: That 
Muredac murdered Siorna? Is there not another question for 
you to decide? Did not the Muredac bind Siorna and confine 
him a captive in a cave as a prison? A deed unlawful for any 
one save a judge who has read the sentence of the law according 
to usage. The Muredac left Siorna in that cave manacled hand 
and foot until he was found dead? Is not this an indictment 
indeed? What if the chief-judge ask the assembly their de- 
cision on this case? Then Meirtar said: You have heard the 
words of Raoilt and Braid? Will the sentence be read from 
the tract of the law? 

All raised the right hand, except Oilliol, king of Gaalen. So 
the penalty of the law was read. And Ardrig conmmanded: 
Let the word of the law be executed. Therefore the Muredac 
was borne forth manacled hand and foot, and both together as 
was Siorna, and he was incarcerated in the dungeon of Teacmor 
Tabarta. Now many of the race and kindred of Muredac came 
to the Ardrig, saying: Spare O Ardrig, spare if you please, do 


702 


not place the mark of this penalty and its shame on the prince 


Muredac? But Seadna answered them: It is wonderful how 
you have forgotten so soon the atrocious death suffered by Siorna 
in the zeal of your pity for Muredac? The throne of Errion nor 
my own life is not dearer to me than words of the law, if it 
were my own son who did as Muredac he should pay the penalty. 
Has not the jury and the judge given sentence, who so bold as 
to prohibit the execution of the sentence of the law? It is not 
the tongue of Seadna certainly! The Muredac was not com- 
mitted to the common prison, but that the requirement of the 
law should be fulfilled to the last iota, they dug a cave in the 
bosom of Tabarta to the west, and laid the captive and man- 
acled Muredac in it without food or drink. The guards did not 
hinder its bringing though. On the thirty-second day, when the 
Muredac was set free, a mighty concourse had gathered around 
the cavern for it was the miday. 

A company of his retainers came to him, and as he came 
forth he ran through the multitude even as a wolf bursts through 
the cordon of hunters, and vaulting on his steed he sped away 


to his native land. The general assembly was yet in session, — | 


and Ardrig said: The words on the tract of the law are not 
yet adequate in the case of one who maliciously places the cause 


of one’s death? Lo, the Muredac is still alive? What if one 


with malice sets the cause of another’s death, shall himself suffer 
death in the same manner? All answered: Yea, let it be so. 


And the words were written down. In those days the Muredac 


seemed daft with fury, his emissaries soon began to trace up 
Raoilt, and almost succeeded in murdering him for an arrow 
tore its way through Raoilt’s left ear. Raoilt placed the com- 
plaint before Oilliol, king of Gaalen, but Oilliol closed his eyes 
to the deed, and so gave it encouragement. When the assembly 
finished, the tract of the law and the book of Chronicles of Errion 
were read, then the general assembly dispersed each to the land 
of his dwelling. When Seadna arrived in Ullad he summoned 
the assembly to the Bruiteine, and amended the words of the 
tract of the law of Ullad, letter for letter, like the tract of the 
law of Errion regarding murder. It was in this session that 
Seadna, the king, arose in the presence of the assembly, and 
said: When the armed forces shall go forth at the call of war 








703 


from the peace of their homes, and from the fires of their tribes, 
to the danger and slaughter of battle, to protect the aged, the 
_ matrons, the maidens, and the children of Ullad, I think it only 
_ just that the common soldier who marches in the comlann should 
receive a regular stipend, for by the law of Ullad he is forbidden 
to carry off the spoils of war? For this reason, for the future, | 
what if all civillians of Ullad pay each year a certain sum to the 
treasury of the kingdom of Ullad, from their wealth, in order 
that in time of peace Ullad may be sufficiently prepared against 
the breaking forth of war? The assembly assented: Yea, be 
it so, but according to the usage of Tanasteac for the future. 
Now the noise and harsh call of war was heard through Errion. 
Gaalen confederated with Mumain, but Duac who married the 
daughter of Fionn Seadna’s brother, was not with the king, in 
like manner the comlanns of Ib-dronag, and Cumar withdrew 
from the king of Gaalen, Oilliol. Seadna sent Messengers te 
the king of Ultonnmact: That he would come to him in Dunso- 
berce, and Thorl, the king of Ultonnmact, came and they made 
a covenant of life and death together. As Thorl went home, 
Seadna presented him, the two steeds Gaoit, and Sciot and four 
wolf dogs, the litter of Luathmar by Seabac, and Thorl came 
to his own kingdom. Seadna called Cier and the princes and 
nobles of Ullad, and said: My brave comrades the hoarse- 
voiced tempest of war is blowing, therefore mass the comlanns 
in readiness for battle, and Seadna set out for Teacmor Tabarta. 
At this same time Oilliol, king of Gaalen, was in Mumain and 

Duac summoned the princes and nobles of the land together 
at Imleac. And Duac, the brother-in-law of Seadna, sent messen- 
gers to Ardrig at Teacmor, saying: The wild-dog and the wolf 
are abroad in the land, their tushes are sharp and they foam at 
very humble, but deceitful, placing all the blame on the Muredac, 
saying: When I forbade Muredac his wrath burst upon me 
like a mountain torrent, and in a frenzy he said is Oilliol too 
with my enemies? Will Oilliol suffer his brother to be called 
not Muredac, but Simon Breac, by this peasant of a mouth-wise 
king? O king, Oilliol repeats the words to demonstrate that 
Muredac must be distraught, Seadna bespoke Oilliol gently: 
Are we not brethren, did not our blood spring from the.same 
fountain, was not Gollam father of Marcac, Cier and Iolar? Is 








704 


the mouth with anger. Look out íor danger, let the high-shep- . 
herd look to his flock. Ardrig sent Duac's letter to Cier, his. 
son, to read the words publicly to the princes and nobles of. 
Ullad, Seadna also commanded Beirid to inscribe the words on. 
the book of Chronicles. Now the Muredac marched with a. 
mighty army of over fifty comlanns until he touched the Sheana-. 
man (Shannon) where he met the auxiliary army of Mumain. | 
They marched conjointly and crossed the waters of Athcreas, i 
and began to spread ruin and destruction on the land of Ultonn- . 
mact. The commander of the army of Mumain was Lorc, prince . 
of Ib-Lugad, but the Muredac was the commander-in-chief of . 
the combined forces. And Thorl was abroad in Corracmor when i 
word came to him saying: Hasten, O king, for the blaze of a 
very great war is consuming the homes of Ultonnmact. Like . 
the wind Thorl spread the knowledge to every commander of i 
his comlanns to every brave hero, even to the stout husband- 4 
men, saying: Cannot the Daanan extinguish this wild fire? . 
Thorl will go without delay to give rest to the hand that set . 
the fire! While these things were transpiring, the army of. 
Ullad was marching directly for Ultonnmact, Thorl who was . 
at the head of his comlanns would not await the return of the © 
messengers from Ullad. The Danaan fought that day with i 
desperate valor, and Lorc, the lion of Ib-Lugad, fell among the . 
slain, yet the Danaan were driven back for they had not a suff- . 
cient number of comlanns to keep up their line of battle, and . 
the Muredac spread destruction far and near, and seized on all . 
valuables as spoils of war, besides driving off countless flocks . 
and herds. As they crossed the Seanaman the scouts returned . 
quickly, saying: Lo! the army of Ullad is at hand. Now it . 
was late in the afternoon and Cier and Thorl ordered their com- . 
lanns for the morrow. The following day the two armies faced . 
each other on the great plain that descends even to the banks . 
of the Seanaman, since the death of Lore the army of Mumain . 
was commanded by Aongais, and Gaalen by the Muredac. Cier, . 
the son of Seadna, was commander of Ullad’s army and Thorl . 
led the forces of the Danaan. The Ardrig of Errion was not . 
present. On that day an indescribable slaughter befell the army . 
of Mumain, for scarcely did the Muredac and the army of Gaalen i 
sustain the shock of the first charge, until they were broken and : 


“05 


fled in disorder without returning. But the hosts of Mumain 
stood to their line with surpassing bravery, they were being 
cut to death in the edge of the battle, but they stood the shock 
of charge, after charge, until the earth was slippery with blood, 
about the middle of the day they broke for the Seanaman, but 
what division soever the earth did not get by the sword, the © 
waters received by drowning. Alas, the countless bodies of 
heroes shining in their armour that were swept rolling down 
like worthless flotsam by the angry waters! Cier pitched his 

tents on the plain, and camped there for nine days with Thorl. 
_ Then he set out in full force to Teacmor Tabarta. When the 
army of bright armed Ullad stood on Tabarta in ordered array, 
and gleams of light playing from lance point and shield at every 
stir. It was a brave and seemly sight! 

Cier recounted to his father, Seadna, all that transpired. 
After this the commanders of comlanns, and leaders of companies 
. came to Ardrig, and Don, the chieftain of Mis, said: Ardrig 
_ dwells here in the midst of a treacherous crew, who hate him. 
i The cincomlann ask to found a fortress, so that an armed force 
_ may be within quick reach of Tabarta? Seadna answered: O 
_ renowned nobles of Ullad, thanks for your zeal, but to the words 
_ of Don it is impossible for me not to answer: No! As soon as 
it is impossible for Ardrig to retain his office by reason of its 
_ dignity, it were time his reign should end! Now Ardrig sent 
an embassy to Oilliol, king of Gaalen, and to Duac, king of 
Mumain, saying: Let Oilliol and Duac give answer in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, why their armies made an irrup- 
tion across the Seanaman into the land of Ultonnmact, and bring- 
ing war and spoilation on the Danaan? Oilliol answered Ardrig: 
Let Muredac reply. But this was Duac’s answer to Ardrig: If 
the Danaan hath found time to make their complaint, let them 
also find time to rub their wounds. Oilliol came up to Teacmor 
it right for Oilliol and Duac—Lorc is dead therefore Seadna will 
be silent, to covenant and conspire not against Seadna but 


against the law of Errion? By my head I never called your 
brother but Muredac. If he invites ugly appelations by his 


wrathful, headstrong, disposition, the fault is mine. 
Indeed Oilliol is aware that it was the findings of the general 
assembly of Errion that stood against Muredac when he was 


706 


held to answer for the death of Siorna, the brother of Oilliol and a 
Muredac. Likewise that the nobles would have gone beyond . 
the correct ruling in order that Muredac would have reached . 
_ his supreme day, had not I covered him with the shield of the . 
law? I would take thy hand in friendship and love, and Oilliol 7 
extended his hand to Seadna, and Seadna pressed it to his bosom. . 
Then Oilliol besought: If Ardrig would condone Muredac’s . 
fault? But Seadna answered: The Assembly of Errion has to . 
answer Oilliol’s words. Oilliol returned to his own place. And . 
Seadna set out for Dunsoberce. But the Muredac never*ceased . 
from plotting through the land, and it is said that Oilliol and . 
Duac though old encourage the Muredac in his conspiracy and . 
plots against Ardrig. Seadna ascertained every plot of Oilliol q 
through Raoilt, for Feal, the father of Raoilt, chief of Ib-Dromnig, 4 
with the chief of Cumar, though in Gaalen were followers of . 
Ardrig Seadna, in like manner he ascertained the schemes of i 
Duac through the prince Duac who married Iberiat. sister of . 
Ardrig. 

But about the Muredac no one knew, for he changed as a . 
sudden wind. As soon as Seadna arrived at Dunsoberce he sum- . 
moned the assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine and Seadna ad- 
dressed them regarding the dark cloud that hung over Errion 
He spoke of the friendship of Ultonnmact, and commanded: 
Let the whole army be held in readiness for war. Having fin- 
ished, the assembly went to Dunsoberce to celebrate the Feast . 
of Ullad. When the assembly sat on the Bruiteine for the second . 
session, the king said: Let the tract of the laws of Ullad be read . 
in the hearing of the people, and it was so. ' The book of Chron- 
icles was open and its contents read. Then Seadna arose and 
said: There are still words for the ears of the children of Ullad, 
and the king placed in my hands the writings of Eocaid Ollav 
Fodla, and I, Beirid, read them aloud to the assembly and to the 
multitude standing around the Bruiteine. They rejoiced and 
wondered for they had not heard them previously. 

After the reading, Seadna stood and said: Though it may 
seem wonderful, I say that a thought as if prophecy came to 
my mind: That this will be the last time I shall stand in Dun- 
soberce. The day previous to the king’s departure from Dun- 
soberce, when the king sat in his chamber with Cier, his son, 





707 


and I, Beirid, Cier said to his father: O beloved father, my 
mind is filled with the softly whispered word that is abroad, if 
it please thee, I would go as a guard for thee on thy journey 
to Teacmor Tabarta? The king answered, don’t O son, abandon 
your mind to such vain forebodings, notwithstanding my beloved 
son accept my thanks for your love! It was then Cier replied 
The thought sprung from my father’s words spoken .n the 
hearing of the children of the land. It is true, O my son, but 
away with such thoughts when Seadna sets out for Teacmor 
Tabarta and Cier dwells in Dunsoberce. Now when Baal began 
to enter his house Cruinnugad (September) Seadna marched 
with his retinue towards Teacmor Tabarta, on the fifth day they 
crossed the waters of the river Eider, from that place the high- 
way leads through the dense forests of Lurge, now on his march 
through that primaeval forest, an armed legion ambushed him 
and they slaughtered every one of the retinue except Doeg, 
chieftain of Ardeas and Ardrig, they bore Doeg and Ardrig with 
them into the fastness of the forest, to a cavern into which they 
cast- them chained. After a while they drew them out again 
and into the presence of the Muredac. And the Muredac com- 
manded: Seize that wise-mouthed fellow yonder, and bind him 
hand and foot on the left side and twist the end of the chain 
around that tall tree. Tie another chain around his right hand 
and right foot and twist it around this great tree. Then he. 
commanded the hewers. Cut down the trees. Now when the 
first tree fell it tore and split Ardrig asunder and the half fol- 
lowed the tree in its fall, when the second was felled.the other 
half was flung with it. And the Muredac kept Doeg looking 
on the prepetration of this infamous and unspeakable crime. 
After this murder the Muredac commanded aloud: Remove not 
the chains from the carrion, leave them as the signs of his cap- 
tivity. But to Doeg he said: Get thee hence O sycophantic 
Doeg and relate in the hearing of Ullad and in the hearing of 
Errion too: Thus doth Muredac wipe from himself the shame- 
ful stigma placed on him by Seadna, so fell Seadna after a just 
reign in Ullad and in Errion of fifteen years. Seadna was truth- 
ful, learned, brave and just.

IX Book. I Chapter. The reign of Muredac as ardrig for © 
one year from 471 to 470 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of 


freland Vol. I, page 62. Age of world 4291, under the name 
of Siomon Breac.) 





After this atrocious murder, Muredac went quickly to Teac- 
mor Tabarta, and he broke into it by violence. While Seadna 
was still alive the curriers went through Errion summoning the 
general assembly to Teacmor Tabarta. Now on the designated 


day some of the princes and nobles. of Gaalen and Mumain to- — | 


gether with their kings were on Tabarta. But the princes, 
chieftains, ollavs, nor the tribunes of the people, from Ullad 
were not on hand, neither was the king nor nobles of Ultonn- 
mact present. 

All present entered the high-chamber and sat a while, the 
heralds of Gaalen came in and proclaimed: The throne of the 
Ardrig of Errion is empty. Every member of the assembly 
looked at each other in astonishment, and remained silent. Then 
Muredac arose, saying: Well now if every one of the race de- 
cline the throne of Errion, certainly Muredac the son of Aoda, 
of the line of Ermion, must sit Ardrig. But no tongue voiced 
its approval. He went forth indeed to Liafail, and the Ardcrom- 
fear of Gaalen placed the Eisaon on his brow and the royal robe 
on his shoulders, Muredac returned to the high-chamber and 
sat on the throne. Now in these same days the assembly of 
Ullad sat on the Bruiteine. And Doeg, the chieftain of Ardeas 
arose, saying: What if Cier, the son of Seadna, be elected king 
over Ullad? All the assembly answered: Yea, be it so: Ans 
Cier occupied the dias of the king. After he put on the Eisaon 
and the royal robe he said Doeg, the chieftain of Ardeas, has 
words of dreadful import for the ears of Ullad, that we have no 
time to mourn until we take vengeance. Then Doeg stood 
and told everything he saw in the order it transpired in the 
dense forest of Lurge. When Doeg finished the tale a mighty 
voice as if one, rent the bosom of the assembly: War, to war! 
The king replied: O most renowned nobles of Ullad, Yea, even 
so let there be war, for I think that if peace ever were guilty 
it would be in those days. 

It is just that the children of the soil demand his life from 








709 


that murderer, as eric (penalty) for the blood of our father? 
O brave men of Ullad, array your comlanns for it is said that 
spotted Simon sits in Teacmor Tabarta. Will you suffer a frat- 
ricide and a murderer of Ardrig to dishonor the throne of Errion, 
drag the felon thence! O nobles, hurry to your Tanasteacs, 
prepare your comlanns without delay, for there will be neither 
festivity nor music, until we free the land from this ravening 
wolf. The ollavs gathered also from all the Mur-n-ollavs of 
Ullad, and elected Caban Ardollav in place of Beirid who was 
killed in the forest of Lurge, at this time the army of Ullad 
was mobilizing to march to Teacmor to chastize Muredac, and 
word came from Thorl, king of Ultonnmact, to Cier, saying: 
Simon Breac has demanded imperial tribute, but instead of 
taxes this is the reply Thorl made. It is to the king of Errion 
Thorl will pay tax, but certainly not to the Murderer of the 
Ardrig. The answer of Thorl enraged Muredac; and he swore 
to feed the Danaan to the fishes of the sea. Therefore what 
if Cier would march with the army of Ullad to the waters of 
the Aron in order to shut off Muredac’s road? Cier returned 
word to Thorl it shall be even so. Cier likewise sent certain 
knowledge by hand of a trusty messenger to Duac, the prince 
of Mumain, and to Raoilt, the son of Feal, chieftain of Ib-Dronag, 
and to Alexander, chieftain of Cumar, saying: What time 
Simon Breac will command you to march forth your comlanns, 
be sure to go yourselves as Cinncomlanns (commanders) and 
O friend be silent. So Muredac sent curriers through Gaalen 
and Mumain, yea, even to Ullad, saying: Let the comlanns of 
warriors of the army of Errion be massed on Ce-iosiol in pres- 
ence of Ardrig, for Ultonnmact has refused to pay tribute. Un- 
doubtedly the cromfir of Ullad were inciting the Gaal against 
Cier, saying: Ah, those Danaan the (friends of the line of Er) 
know not Baal, the most high. They call on the spirits of the 
legion of Bathmon (Cathabatmon) i. e., of the deep. Alas, 
Alas! and the princes of Er sit with the ollavs, extinguishing 
the warrior spirit of Gaal. If his pretext be true, why didn’t 
Cier take vengeance for the blood of his father before this? It 
is a full year now since the event transpired, no doubt he spent 
all the interval counselling with his wise men? Faugh! he 
marches out the army now, not to avenge the spirit of Seadna 


710 


his father, but to estop the Ardcios of Ardrig. But the Gaal 
would not listen to the words of the cromfir. The army of 
Ullad marched onward to Ultonnmact, it was on Magruna (the 
plain of Mystery) the armies of Ullad and Ultonnmact met, and 
they encamped together, but Muredac and the armies of Gaalen 
and Mumain were to the eastward of them. At midnight Duac 
and Raoilt came to the pavillion of Cier but they had no one 
else along, and Cier sat with them. At this time Baal was the 
fourth night in his house Sioca (January) and Baal riseth late 
to the sight of the children of Errion. The plain was like one 
great camp fire for the night was very cutting. Cier commanded 
the sentries to give the awakening blast so that the soldiers of 
the comlanns would be prepared to march at the first sight of 
Baal. But before the sentinels sounded the call, every com- 
lann was ready, helmet on head, shield interlocked, and lance 
in rest for the charge, the eye of every common lancer was turned 
to Baal. As the first gleam fell from the face of Baal over the 
Plain of Magruna every ceancomlann of the army of Ullad drew 
his sword, and Cier raised his sword on high and swore: 
Before the fall of Baal’s great light either Muredac or Cier will 
be with dead. And so swore the princes, and the entire army 
of Ullad that they would wreak vengeance and eric on Muredac 
for the death of Seadna. The army gave its terrific war-cry 
until the air trmebled again and they marched upon Muredac. 
Duac and Raoilt accompanied Cier at his right and left, the 
comlanns of Ullad were like a wind sweeping a valley, with 
every charge they cut to pieces the bravest and the fiercest 
bands that fought around Muredac. But Thorl and the Danaan 
fought like famished wolves, now in hottest fury of the battle 
when falann faced comlann Duac commanded his herald to 
proclaim with a great voice: What story of shame is this, that 
the Gaal of Errion befoul themselves by defending Muredac 
against the punishment for the blood of fratricide and murder 
which he shed upon the earth? Will the warriors of Errion 
assume to themselves the guilt of the atrocious crimes committed 
by Simon Breac? It was then the comlanns of Duac, Ib-Dronag 
and Cumar wheeled away from Muredac. When he heard the 
words he was enraged, and he came in view of Cier, but he 
dared not even to turn his eyes on Cier. And Cier sprung for 








“11 


Muredac, but Duac and Raoilt restrained him, saying: By our 
heads, death on Magruna under the sword of Cier, would be 
too glorious a death íor Simon Breac, the murderer of Seadna 
and Siorna? Let him be taken. So Raoilt the friend of Siorna, 
captured the Muredac, and bore him in manacles tripply bound 
“to the tents of Thorl. Now the armies of Gaalen and Mumain 
broke and fled across the waters of the Seanaman and the army 
of Ullad pressed them sorely out of the land of Ultonnmact. 
Now they enclosed the Muredac with a great chest which they 
placed on a car and took him to the forest of Lurge. Now when 
Cier was about to return to Ullad, Raoilt asked him what dis- 
position was to be made of the Muredac? Cier answered let 
him be incarcerated in the prison of Dunsoberce until the gen- 
eral-assembly of Errion convene in Teacmor Tabarta. So that 
the sentence of the law be read on his case according to usage. 
But Duac, Doeg, and Raoilt, conferred on the words of Cier 
and came to this resolve between them: Duac will say: If 
Cier would march at the head of his conquering comlanns, Duac, 
Doeg, and Raoilt would act as rear guards (ceapcosantha) to 
the hosts. And so it was. On the march every chieftain and 
ceancomlann was secretly informed of the resolve of the three, 
so that they and the nobles of Ultonnmact would assemble at 
a certain spot in the forest of Lurge, when they reached the 
forest of Lurge they took Muredac from his cage and cast him 
into the identical cavern in which he put Seadna. After a while 
they took him out again, and stood him in the presence of the 
men of Ullad and they formed into a circle around him and 
Duac said to Doeg, chieftain of Ardeas: O Doeg, look at this 
person, hast thou ever before seen this man? And if so, what 
hast thou seen him do? It was then Doeg repeated the words 
and the deeds of the Muredac when he tore Seadna asunder. 
When he finished, all said: Let the same law apply to his 
body, and the body of the Muredac was torn asunder exactly 
as he had torn the body of Seadna Ardrig. When they arrived 
in Dunsoberce and it was related to Cier how the career of the 
Muredac was terminated in the forest of Lurge. Grief came 
upon him, and he said: O alas! in tearing the body of the Mure- 
dac asunder, deplorable was the rent you made in the tract of 
the laws of Errion! Muredac was surnamed Siomon Breac 


712 


because he was in the prison of Teacmor Tabarta until the 
manacles left their lasting impress on him, and especially because 
he had stained his life by innumerable misdeeds. 

O’Carroll History of Errion. 





IX. Book. II. Chapter. Reign of Duac for nine years from: 
470 to 451 B.C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I, 
page 62. Age of world 4297. Under the name Duac Fionn.) 





Now the general assembly of Errion sat in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta. And they elected Duac, the son of Breas- 
rig of Iber, as Ardrig over Errion. What time he had reigned 
one year Duac, king of Mumain died and when the assembly 
of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine they elected Daire, his 
son as king over Mumain. In the seventh year of Duac’s reign 
Oilliol, king of Gaalen died, when the assembly of Gaalen con- 
vened on the Bruiteine they elected Muredac, son of Muredac 
Simon Breac, as king for Gaalen. When they assembled in 
Tabarta it was easy for all to perceive that they were filled with 
envy against Ardrig—one was jealous, the other thirsted for 
revenge. Duac knew well that his words were like a gust of 
wind in the ears of the pair. Nevertheless he had hopes in Cier 
and in the firendship of Thorl for Cier. Muredac unceasingly 
annoyed Fail, chieftain of Ib-Dronag, father of Raoilt and Raoilt 
himself on account of his affection for Siorna. He instigated 
Daire to place an indictment against Raoilt before the general 
assembly of Teacmor Tabarta. The cause dealt of certain horses 
and wolf dogs, and cloaks embroidered with refined gold, and a 
wonderful shield that was forged under the instruction of Fear- 
iris in the great armory among the mountains of Mumain. Daire 
alledged that he regarded them as priceless heirlooms, because 
they belonged to his father, and that Raoilt purloined them from 
his father’s pavillion! Indeed the assembly marveled when they 
heard the indictment and the words Daire wondered. Then 
Ardrig said: O fellow princes, this is a strange indictment, be- 
cause the steeds, wolf-dogs and robes were mine, and I presented 
them to Raoilt. They never were the property of Duac, king of 
Mumain. The shield likewise was made under the supervision 
of the master craftsman Feariris, but indeed for me, and it was 








713 


I who instructed Feariris to engrave and paint the likeness and 
arms of Raoilt on that shield as they are now. And shame fell 
on Muredac and Daire, because the assembly perceived then 
that a conspiracy existed between the two. They unceasingly 
harassed Duac, the Ardrig. In the ninth year of Duac’s reign 
Muredac, king of Gaalen, summoned the princes and nobles to 
the Bruiteine to adjudicate an unpleasantness between the chief- 
tains of Nagglen and Eudandair, but privately he instructed his 
trusty partisans: Come armed. Now when the assembly had 
disposed of the cause between the chieftains, he bade adieu to 
the chieftains of Cumar and Ib-Dronag, who departed immedi- 
ately for their own country. Then Muredac arrayed the parti- 
sans who remained with him, and in full panoply they marched 
to Teacmor Tabarta. Notwithstanding that this was a very 
sudden surprisal, Ardrig massed his bodyguard and a few of 
the imperial soldiers (fir-Errion) into a little army, he did not 
shut himself up within the walls of Teacmor, but at the head 
of his comlann he marched forth against the king of Gaalen. 
As soon as he saw the enemy he double-quicked the march to 
meet them. As he drew up his heroic band on the banks of the 
Magnalbe to cross it, the flight of a mighty shower of arrows 
came from the army of Gaalen, one pierced his armour and 
transfixed his heart. Ardrig fell into the grasp of death. Mure- 
dac proceeded to the high-chamber and seized Teacmro Tabarta 
and held possession by armed force, an unlawful act. 





IX. Book. III. Chapter. Reign of Muredac, the son of 
Muredac Simon Breac, during five years 461 to 455 B. C. (See 
Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I, page 62. Under the 
name of Muredac Bolgrac.) 





Now Muredac, king of Gaalen sent swift messengers through 
Errion, saying: Let the general assembly convene immediately 
in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect an Ardrig, for 
Duac is dead. The princes and nobles of Gaalen were on Tabarta 
and they elected Muredac, king of Gaalen, Ardrig. But Cier re- 
mained in Ullad and Thorl in Ultonnmact. Cier did not amass 
properties and wealth, nor pile up casks of gold and silver in 
the royal treasure house, he wished rather to enrich the Gaal 


714 


than himself. Each year he made a royal progress through 
Tanasteac in Ullad appropriating the necessary expenses from 
the king’s treasury. The Gaal increased greatly in every division 
of the kingdom. The soil teemed with fertility. 

In the fourth year of Muredac’s reign, Daire, king of Mumain, 
expired as he was exercising feats of horsemanship. When the 
assembly of Mumain met on the Bruiteine they elected Eunda, 
son of Duac, son of Elim, formerly Ardrig, as king over Mumain. 
Indeed it was not long until Muredac stirred up trouble and 
strife for Mumain, and made an irruption into the land with an 
armed force. When the two armies came face to face they 
fought with intrepidity, and terrific slaughter ensued, until 
Mueradc fell, then the army of Gaalen broke and fled precip- 
itately for Gaalen. Five years was the time of Muredac’s reign 
as Ardrig. | 


“IX. Book. IV. Chapter. Reign of Eunda, king of Mumain, 
five years from 455 to 450. (See Annals of the kingdom of 
Ireland Vol. I, page 62. Age of world 4308, under the name of 
Eunda Dearg, Also Ogigia, II. div. C. 33.) 

After the death of Muredac in the battle of Ardbruisge, the 
assembly of Gaalen came to the Bruiteine, and elected Con- 
gaal, Muredac’s brother, as king over Gaalen. And when the 
general assembly of Errion convened in the high-chamber of 
Teacmor Tabarta, Eunda, king of Mumain, was elected Ardrig 
over Errion, after completing the first session, the assembly went 
forth and the great portals of the high-chamber were closed, and 
they celebrated the feast of Teacmor, and the games of contest 
on the field of Tabarta. After the nine days of festivity, the 
assembly sat the second session. The book of Chronicles and 
the roll of the laws were opened and read publicly. 

The heralds proclaimed: Stand any one on Tabarta demand- 
ing justice, but no voice answered. The assembly went forth 
each one dispersing to his own community. Now, the genius 
and spirit of Roiteasac were in Eunda, he passed most of his 
days among the mountains of Iber. He sent his laborers under 
experts, and they scrutinized and assayed every spot of the 
mountains and the bowels of the earth after gold, silver, copper, 





715 


. and precious minerals. They discovered many veins of silver and 
copper. On a certain day as Eunda crossed a deep glen in the 
mountains he saw a great stag more beautiful and larger than 
usual seizing quickly a bow from the hands of one of his re- 
tainers he aimed and pierced the stag with the arrow and the 
great animal fell dead on the spot. It was a wonderful stag 
to behold. Now Eunda’s mind was pleased with this feat, so he 
commanded his chief-artisans to melt ingots of silver into medals 
and to stamp the image of this stag on each of them as a mem- 
orial of the occurrence. The maidens of Mumain wear them 
as pendants to their neckchains and as ornamental pins. Now, 
after Eunda had reigned five years he died in his tent among the 
mountains of Mumain, and was buried there. His cairn was 
raised near the cairn of Roithesac. Eunda dwelt in Teacmor only 
while the general assembly was convened at Tabarta. 





IX BOOK, IV CHAPTER. 
REIGN OF LUGAD, FIVE YEARS, FROM 450 TO 445 B.C. 


(See Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, 
Vol. I, Page 64. Age of World 4320. Under the name 
Lugad Iardonn.) 


When the assembly of Mumain came to the Bruiteine, they 
elected Lugad Eunda’s brother to the throne of Mumain. At 
this same juncture swift curriers went through Errion summon- 
ing kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people 
to Teacmor Tabarta saying: The throne of Ardrig is empty. 
The general assembly met seasonably on the day designated, and 
as they sat the first session they elected Lugad king of Mumain 
Ardrig over Errion and Lugad arose and said: Fellow rulers of 
Errion I am deeply thankful for the title of Ardrig you have be- 
stowed on me, make it welcome and increase its dignity by ful- 
filling all requirements to preserve the peace of Errion. Lugad 
loves peace in the first place because it is beneficial for the 
children of the soil, for under its benign influence the Gaal in- 
creases to the fullest extent and the soil yields the richness of 
its fruits and harvests. Lugad loves peace in the second place, 
because it is only in times of peace that the unfinished works 


716 


of Eunda may be successfully prosecuted, the project is pleasing 
to me, and I think profitable to the interests of the Gaal of 
Errion. In these days the kingdom of Ullad enjoyed profound 
peace. After a reign of twenty-four years Cier expired. The 
news of Cier’s death came to Lugad and the general assembly 
when they sat the first session in the high-chamber in Teacmor, 
‘and Ardrig arose and said: What if the words of the book of 
Chronicles, and the tract of the laws of Errion be read? And so 
it was. Then the heralds proclaimed aloud: Stand any one 
on Tabarta demanding justice? But no voice answered.” The 
assembly went forth, and the portals of the high-chamber were 
shut. But on this occasion they did not celebrate the feast of 
Teacmor in presence of Ardrig, nor the games of contest on 
. the field of Tabarta, because Cier the king of Ullad lay in the 
unawakening sleep of death. When the assembly of Ullad con- 
vened on the Bruiteine, Fionn, the firstborn of Cier, was elected 
king in place of his father. On the twenty-eighth day after the 
death of Cier, Caban died, and at a conference of the ollavs, 
. Dabair was elected Ardollav of Ullad. Now, it transpired in 
the fifth year of the reign of Lugad while he was on a tour of 
inspection of the mines in the midst of the mountains of Mumain, 
and the snow fell, and a driving wind blew so that the clear 
light of day was not above, there was no trace of road, pass 
or valley for the eye of the traveller. By cold and exposure 
Lugad and the greater part of his retinue perished smothered 
under the measureless drifts of snow. 

The remainder who strove to extricate themselves were lost 
in the trackless mountains finding death by cold or hunger so 
that none survived to tell their story. Thus perished Lugad 


Ardrig in the great snow fall and blizzard among the mountains. 
of Iber. 


IX. BOOK, V. CHAPTER. 


THE REIGN OF FIONN, THE SON OF CIER, SIXTEEN 
YEARS, FROM 445 TO 430 B. C. 


(See Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, Vol. I, Page 64. Age 
of the World, 4329, under the name of Fionn Siorlam. 
Also the Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





“17 


When that awful tempest subsided, for before in the memory 
of men, there was not such, a company of trackers went forth to 
search for the king and his retinue, they discovered his body and 
buried it where he died. When the assembly of Muamin con- 
vened on the Bruiteine they elected Eocaid, Lugad’s brother, 
king for Mumain. The same time swift curriers went through 
Errion saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and 
tribunes of the people, meet in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta for the throne of Ardrig is vacant. On the day of the 
convening of the general assembly in the high-chamber, Fionn 
was chosen Ardrig for Errion and Eocaid, king of Mumain, placed 
the Eisaon on his brow, and Thorl, king of Ultonnmact, the royal 
robe on his shoulders. They went forth to celebrate the great 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. 
When the assembly sat the second session, there was no matter 
for adjudication, nor strife to settle, for the friendship of Thorl 
was cemented to the sons of Er, and peace reigned over all 
Errion, therefore after reading the writings according to usage, 
and after the interrogation by the heralds, the general assembly 
adjourned. Fionn appointed Cas, a prince of Er, as viceroy in 
Ullad, notwithstanding he visits Dunsoberce every year, and 
when Baal enters his house Iarsgith (July) he returns to Teac- 
mor. In the sixth year of his reign as Ardrig, word came to. 
him on Tabarta saying: The judges of Ullad according to the 
information received by Cas are trampling on justice. This is 
the reply Ardrig returned by the same currier: Let the princes, 
chieftains, ollavs, and the tribunes of the people stand on the 
Bruiteine of Ullad in presence of the king. And it was so. 
Now on the day assigned for the convention Fionn arose on 
the Bruiteine and said: O princes of Er and gentle rulers of 
Ullad, Fionn hath nothing to lay before your consideration, for 
the wreath of peace crowns Errion with happiness, but if per- 
chance any other member of this assembly hath aught to dis- 
close of interest to Ullad, if it please him, let him speak? The 
prince Cas replied: As soon as the writings are read Cas would 
speak. The tract of the law of Ullad was opened and read, 
and the writings of Eolus* and the book of Chronicles. Then 
the king said: Since the day is declining now, let us go to Dunso- 


* This Eolus was deified among the Carthaginans and called Iolus (Rollin).

berce and taste of the fare that is ready awaiting us, tomorrow 
the writings of Eocaid Ollam Fodla will be read. In the hearing 
of the people. The following day the words were read, when fin- 
ished the heralds read aloud: Stands any one on the Bruiteine 
of Ullad demanding justice? A voice was heard saying: Fuidir 
of the children of Bincoir in Ardtan hath words for the ear of 
the king. Therefore Fuidir was cited into the presence of the 
assembly and related his complaint: 

Fuar, one of the judges of Ardtan, adjudged to Gleic two 


heifers and two sheep from the cattle of Fuidir and Fuidir was - i 


not cited into the presence of the jury to give answer at all, Fuar 
calls them eric? Therefore Fuidir made an appeal, and told the 
findings of Fuar to Ceudail the tribune over him, but Ceudail 
would not listen but turned him out saying: Does Fuidir be- 
lieve that he knows the statutes of the law better than Fuar, the 
judge? So Gleic retains in his possession the cattle of Fuidir. 
Then, Siolac, the chief-judge of Dunsoberce, said: What saith 
Fuar to the words of Fuidir? Fuar trembled, his voice was 
broken and hoarse, his words dropped through his teeth, indeed 
he rendered a bad cause worse. In like manner Ceudail was 
cited into the presence, and he pretended that Fuidir’s story was 
not true, but he was quickly put to shame before the assembly 
. for the cause was clearly proven by the testimony of Tonngair 
and Loir. Then the assembly conferred, but no one raised his 
voice in behalf of Fuar and Ceudail. Scartan, one of the judges, 
arose, saying: Would the king suffer Scartan to speak? The 
king replied: Speak O Scartan. And he stood, saying: The 


land is defiled by this act, the case is as if blood was shed in . 


murder, when the stranger receiving hospitality is nefariously 
slain under that roof! What if the goods of Fuar and Ceudail 
be appraised, and also the goods of Fuidir, and each one shall 
pay as fine four times as much as Fuar lost, and let their names 
be erased from the roll of the judges of Ullad? When Scartan 
had ended his talk the king arose, saying: O noble children 
of Ullad, it is Fuar and Ceudail who stand defiled, not the land 
of Ullad, for Ullad was not an accomplice with them? It is 
my opinion that Scartan will be well pleased with the words 
of the king: Let mercy walk with justice as a companion, 
Ceudail and Fuar transgressed the law, but has not Scartan 








“19 


done the same? There is no statute oí the law authoriaing the 
words of Scartan any more than the acts of Ceudail and Fuar? 
What ií Ceudail and Fuar sit no more on the chair oí judgment, 
but let their name remain on the roll oí judges together with 
the reason of their chastisment? It will be a memorial of the 
evil they did, and a pillar of fear to judges in the future? With 
that the king said: What if these men have done wrong, per- 
haps the complainant did wrong also, Fuar erred in the case, the 
- cause should be re-examined in the land of Ardtan, so that justice 
be done between Gleic and Fuidir according to the text of the 
law. Scartan raised his voice saying: Great is the mercy of the 
king? Now scarcely had Scartan finished his words, when a 
voice was heard from the surrounding multitude, saying: Will 
the king listen to my words? Alas O king incline thy ear to the 
story of poor Eansa! When the words were brought to the 
king, he said: Let the sad tale be told, so Eansa came into the 
presence of the assembly, and in a sorrowful tone said: O king 
there stands here in your company and in the company of the 
great nobles of Ullad a man who turned the joy of the home of 
Bosluat to sorrow, Bosluat had three sons and two daughters, 
children of Eansa. Has not the king heard of Massa and Suil- 
cana? The most beautiful maidens who live on the banks of the 
Duba under the hills of Baalan? Now Massa went with her 
father and mother to Gaalda in Magmor to arrange her espousals 
with Rolad, and she promised that she would go as the wife 
of Rolad to his dwelling at the coming of the next harvest. 
But as soon as word went forth that the pair were promised in © 
marriage, not one but many tongues wagged in envy to stir 
up the mind and heart of either of them. 

Now the story that Rolad was loving even to the deception 
of many other maidens. Again that Massa was sick by the love 
and preference she gave to Maranog. There lives now in the 
boundaries of Glenadun a man who whispered in the ears of 
Massaa proposition too unclean to mention. The face of the 
child reddened with shame. He likewise spoke of the danger 
that would surround us if Rolad should marry the maiden. Bos- 
luat knew no danger nor fear as he had done no evil. In those 
days we had goods and possessions in plenty, and abundance 
to share with the stranger and the traveller, but after a little 


720 


we began to lose our cattle; our sons kept watch, and tracked 
the thief, it was a neighbor, we lodged a complaint against this 
thief before a judge, who was likewise our neighbor. We told 
him what happened, and Bosluat requested that he would ex- 
amine the cause, but he remained deaf to our request. A cow 
and some sheep and a kid strayed on to our pastures, imme- 
diately this judge summoned Bosluat before him to answer for 
this? Bosluat came and he answered: They strayed on to my 
land, he called no jury for he said: I hold enlarged powers even 
from the king. I say, and I execute If we go before this 
judge with a complaint he will not hear us, but if any one com- 
plain against us he listens as though he had a hundred ears, he 
pronounces the fine against us as with a hundred tongues. In 
adjucating our case he does everything alone, there is no jury, 
none only Bosluat, or a friend or perhaps the one making the 
charge. This judge has done us injustice and injury in every 
possible manner, therefore we are now poor, yea very poor. 
Slim is our store and our money, and all this persecution has 








resulted because Massa would not surrender her love and her - . 


chastity to this adulterous judge! That judge now stands in 
the presence of the king and Scartan is his name! Then Siolac, 
the chief judge of Dunsoberce, said: Who shall bear testimony 
to the complaint of Eansa? Eansa answered: If Tul were sum- 
moned. When Tul responded to the call of the heralds Scartan 
said in a woe begon manner, Alas O king, Scartan is ill, if you 
please give him leave to retire and he went out, and the as- 
sembly marveled. When a more than sufficient time had passed, 
nevertheless no one spoke a word. Each remained silent fear- 
ing to speak, as they recollected the words Scartan poured forth 
against Fuar and Ceudail. After a while Siolac arose, saying: 
Will the captors proceed after Scartan, or will Tul speak? But 
the king answered: 

Eocaid Ollav Fodla in whose spirit I live, gave a law to 
Errion. In the tract of that law these words are written: Ren- 
der judgment against no man in his absence. Does not Siolac, 
head of the judges, read the law diligently, or has he forgotten 
so soon? According to law every tongue must be silent in 
Scartan’s cause while he is not in hearing. Bring him in. While 
the assembly stood on the Bruiteine Fionn explained to them 


“21 


the lesson of science, and he lifted up his voice against the 
judges, saying: Alas, the pity of the case? How guickly one 
spies out the fault of another though it be no larger than the 
atom that floats in the bright rays of Baal; but will not advert 
to his own guilt, though it be large at a mountain on the plain, 
or red as a blazing fire on the summit of a mountain at night? 
Fear and mistrust disturbs my mind when I contemplate the 
day that the children of Errion will complacently accept the 
word of the judge in place of the sentence of the law. While 
Fionn yet spoke they conducted Scartan in, it was already late, 
the day declined, the king said: Perhaps Scartan is not pre- 
pared fully to answer? What.if he stay with his friends until 
morning, and present himself, with his witnesses? 

The following day when the assembly convened on the 
Bruiteine, Siolac stood saying: Answer O Scartan shall Tul 
speak? Scartan whispered to one of his companions: Let Tul 
keep his knowledge to himself. Then the king arose, saying: 
True there is no sentence in the tract of the law pertaining to 
the guilt and injustice of the judge. For that reason O gentle 
sons of Ullad, what if a judge profanes the word of the law and 
the indictment be proved, that he repay nine times the price of 
the damage he has done as a fine? The assembly answered: 
Yea, let it be so. If the chief judge does evil in a cause or turns 
his ear from a complaint, let his fine be fifteen times to the one 
suffering the injustice, and the judge doing the injustice will 
not sit as judge for the future? All answered Yea be it so, and 
so it was, the words were written as an amendment to the tract 
of the laws of Ullad. It was then that Fionn, king of Ullad, 
raised his voice aloud, saying: While the spirit of Eocaid Ollav 
Fodla is in the heart of the king, the princes, and the nobles of 
Ullad, the left hand of the law will be stretched out as a shield 
to protect the weak, and the strong right arm of the law will 
chastise and smite the proud lawbreaker. The king then said 
to Eansa: O Eansa, thou hast done well, go to Dunsoberce and 
she went. In Dunsoberce the king said to Eansa: How much 
did you lose by this system of injustice? But Eansa answered: 
What doth our loss signify when the king hath justified us and 
our claim in presence of the children of the soil! The king in- 
quired: Has Rolad taken Massa as wife? 


722 

Eansa answered: Yes, Massa lives now in the tents of Rolad 
since Cruinnugad (September) last. And Fionn ordered the 
chief herdsman to send to Bosluat from the royal herds: Ten 
heifers, ten sheep, and ten she goats as a gift. Eansa returned 
home filled with joy. Now Fionn instructed Cas to keep his 
ears attentive to the complaints of the people. After that he 
set out for Teacmor. In the ninth year of his reign Ardrig went 
to Ultonnmact to visit Thorl the king, who laid in bed sick 
and aged, and Fionn dwelt in Cruacan to comfort Thorl, but 
he did not mingle nor go near the relatives of the king nér the 
nobles of Ultonnmact lest he should cause jealousy. He did 
not return to Teacmor for a month, until Thorl died, and Fionn 
mourned him. In the fifteenth year of Fionn’s reign Congaal, 
king of Gaalen died, and when the assembly of Gaalen convened, 
they elected Eocaid, son of Congaal, king for Gaalen in place of 
his father. In this year what time Baal was in his house Blath, 
in its second division, there came a big fleet of the buyers of 
Feine, (Phoenician merchants) hove into the ship port of Inbior 
Colba, more than a hundred Leabairaon (one row of oars) ships, 
and two hundred freight ships laden with stores and valuables 
- gathered from every division of the world. Now when the gen- 
eral assembly of Errion convened in the high-chamber of Teac- 
mor Tabarta, the dias of the king of Ultonnmact behind the 
throne of Ardrig was vacant for they had not yet chosen one 
in place of Thorl. After the assembly had completed the first 
session, they went forth and the great portals of the high-cham- 
ber were closed. They celebrated the feast of Teacmor, and the 
games of contest on the field of Tabarta. Just prior to the games 
of Eactra a company of the buyers of Feine arrived on the 
campus of Tabarta. Ardrig gave them leave to announce pub- 
licly through the heralds: Know ye champions of Errion, 
bravest of heart, and highest of renown, the buyers of Feine 
promise as a prize, a wartop (helmet) of gleaming bronze with 
waving crest, a suit of armor, a shield, a sword, and lance, valued 
at a hundred cumails of silver- or twenty engraved pieces of 
gold, to any champion of Errion sufficiently strong of arm to 
pierce the mail (luireac) with an arrow, or the shield with the 
hurled spear or lance thrust, they will be hung up for trial. But 
indeed no champion won the prize, for no strong champion with 





723 

his most terrific effort could bite into them. Then it was that 
the chief of the buyers of Feine came to Ardrig, and bowing his 
head and countenance to the ground, he presented to him the 
prize that no champion could win, saying; it is fit for the Ardrig. 
' Now it transpired when they saw the goodness and the hardness 
of the arms and the armour, the kings, princes, chieftains, 
tribunes of the people, and every strong champion, whose means 
allowed, purchased suits of armour, helmets, shields, and arms, 
moreover the buyers of Feine demonstrated to each purchaser 
the manner and mode in which he would receive neither shock . 
nor hurt from the heaviest blow when wearing the armor they 
sold them, if they would place under the armor a thick padding 
of drycurled wool. After the nine days. The assembly sat 
the second session, and Fionn ordered the writings to be read 
according to usage. And it was so. The heralds proclaimed: 
Stands any one on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice an- 
swered. Ardrig set out for Dunsoberce. He was stricken with 
pains in his feet, Fillian, the king’s chief physician, advised the 
frequent saltwater baths. Fionn followed Fillian’s orders, nev- 
ertheless the ailment progressed until the king died. He ruled 
Ardrig sixteen years. Fionn, king of Ullad and Ardrig, was sur- 
named “Siorlam.” Because his arms were longer than any man 
living in his time. All Ullad mourned deeply after Fionn. 





IX. Book. VI. Chapter. Reign of Eocaid twelve years from 
430 to 418 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol I, 
page 64. Age of the world 4345. Under the name Eocaid 
Uirceas. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





Now after the death of Fionn, the assembly of Ullad convened 
on the Bruiteine and they elected Ruaidruide, son of Cier, and 
brother of Fionn as king over Ullad. At this same juncture, 
the swift curriers went forth through Errion saying: Let the 
kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people as- 
semble without delay in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
for the throne of Ardrig is vacant. When the general assembly 
sat the first session they elected Eocaid king of Mumain, Ardrig. 
He did not go forth to Liafail. Ruadruide, king of Ullad, placed 
the Eisaon on his brow, and Eocaid, king of Gaalen, the royal 


724 


robe on his shoulders. According to usage they celebrated the 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the field of 
Tabarta. When they sat in the second session the book of the 
Chronicles of Errion were read, and the tract of the law. When 
the heralds called out, no voice answered. LEocaid delights in 
navigation, he sailed with his fleet around Errion, having many 
of the princes and nobles of Mumain in his company. 

Now when they came to the Foist, the port of Dunsoberce, 
Ruadruide called together the princes and nobles of Ullad, and 
they celebrated a great feast for a month in honor of Ardrig. 
Eocaid, king of Gaalen, passes the time in the chase and the 
stag-hunt, he gives no rest to the deer and wolves of Gaalen. 
Ruadruide’s taste is for instructing the youth. He pays frequent 
visits to the Murnollams. Ruadruide walks in the footsteps of 
his race. Errion enjoys peace and prosperity. In the ninth 
year of Ruadruide’s reign Dubar, the ardollam, died. At the 
conference of the ollams, Tuscar was chosen ardollam of Ullad. 

Now when Eocaid, king of Mumain, had reigned twelve years 
Ardrig he died, and they constructed his cairn in Mumain. 





IX. Book. VII. Chapter. Reign of Eocaid Ardrig for five 
years from 418 to 413 B. C. (See Annals of kingdom of Ireland 
page 64. Age world 43861. Under name of Eocaid Fiadmuine. 
Reign of Lugad four years Ardrig from 413 to 409 B. C. Under 
the name “Lugad Lamdearg.” 





After the death of Eocaod, king of Mumain Ardrig, the as- 
sembly of Mumain met on the Bruiteine and elected Lugad, son 
of Eocaid as king of Mumain in place of his father. When the 
general assembly of Errion convened in the high-chamber of 
Teacmor Tabarta they elected Eocaid, king of Gaalen, Ardrig 
the first session, he went forth to Liafail and sat on it while 
the Ardcromfear of Gaalen placed the Eisaon on his brow, and 
the royal robe on his shoulders. Then the assembly went forth 
and celebrated the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest 
on the field of Tabarta, now Eocaid appointed Connuig viceroy 
in Gaalen during the five years he ruled as Ardrig. Toward 
the end of the fifth year Eocaid was thrown from his horse near 
Buidecloc and died and they built. his carn over the spot where 





725 


he was unhorsed. But it transpired that without a convention 
of the assembly of Gaalen on the Bruiteine, Connuig took the 
title of king of Gaalen by the advice of the cromfir. 

When the general assembly of Errion convened in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, they elected Lugad, son of Lugad,. 
king of Mumain, Ardrig over Errion. When the first session 
ended the assembly went forth and they celebrated the great 
feast of Teacmor, and the games of contest on the field of Ta- 
barta. In the second session the book of Chronicles and the 
tract of the laws of Errion were read publicly, when finished 
the assembly adjourned each member going to the land of his 
dwelling. Now in the fourth year of his reign Lugad Ardrig 
expired. His carn is in Mumain. After the death of Lugad 
when the assembly convened on the Bruiteine, they elected Ard- 
fear (Arthur) son of Eocaid, king over Mumain. 





IX. Book. VIII. Chapter. Reign of Connuig king of Gaalen 
seven years from 409 to 402 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 64. Age of world 4357, under the name 
“The two sons of Congaal.” Also Annals of Clonnacnois.) 





In these days Connuig sent swift curriers through Errion, 
saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and the 
tribunes of the Gaal convene without delay in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta. The throne of Ardrig is vacant. 

When the general assembly sat the first session Connuig was 
seated on the dias of the king of Gaalen. As soon as the heralds 
had proclaimed: The throne of Ardrig is vacant! Ruadruide, 
king of Ullad, arose saying: Fellow kings and highrulers of 
Errion, may it please you but Ruadruide, king of Ullad, would 
inquire: For what reason Connuig sits on the throne of the 
king of Gaalen? On the instant Connuig leaped to his feet, 
saying: Doth the king of Ullad covet to place a son of Seadna 
on the throne of Gaalen if Connuig should vacate it? Ruadruide 
answered : Gently now, O fair prince of Gaalen, No! no such 
thought entered the intellect of Ruadruide, but contrariwise 
if it be possible for Connuig to be elected king of Gaalen, the 
king of Ullad would say: O Connuig mayest thou enjoy victory, 
blessings and long life on thy throne. Notwithstanding Con- 


726 


nuig did not rise to assume his place among the princes of 
Gaalen. Then Ardfear, king of Mumain arose, questioning: _O 
fellow kings and noble princes of Errion, was not Connuig i 
elected according to the usual practice? Connuig still retaining . 
the seat oí the king oí Gaalen, did not Connuig rule as king in 
Gaalen all the years that his brother Eocaid was Ardrig of 
Errion? But Ardfear said: Such a thing was neither per- 
missable nor legal. Such a precedent shall not obtain. Murcad, 
the chieftain of Maglein, arose saying: The princes and nobles 
of Gaalen are present even here, what if he be elected even on 
Tabarta? To this Aod, the chieftain of Aoimag replied: Gently, 
I demand that the practice of Tanasteac be read aloud in the 
hearing of the assembly? Then Tuscar, the Ardollam, arose 
and read the text aloud: Every chief shall be elected on his 
own Bruiteine, and on the land of his dominions. Then Tornad, 
the chieftain of Ardeas, said: O sires, the law is explicit, and 
this hill of Tabarta has not pertained to Gaalen since the days 
of Eocaid Ollav Fodla. It is requisite that a king be elected 
in his native kingdom. Although I should rejoice to see Con- 
nuig even Ardrig if things should so incline, nevertheless I am 
opposed to him assuming the dias of the king of Gaalen until he 
is elected by the princes and nobles of Gaalen according to the 
usage of Tanasteac. For indeed well doth every child of the 
land know that peace and contentment obtained all the days 
of Eocaid while Connuig ruled all things excepting merely the 
title. | 

In order that peace and content still abide let Connuig walk . . 
according to the practice of Tanasteac. Then Ruadruide, king 
of Ullad, said: The Bruiteine of Gaalen is not far distant, we 
of Ullad will stay in our tents about Tabarta until our brothers 
return? Ardfear, the king of Mumain, spoke in like tenor. Then 
Connuig arose saying: Be itso. The following day the princes 
and nobles of Gaalen went to Magnas, and sitting as the as- 
sembly of Gaalen on the Bruiteine they elected Connuig as king 
over Gaalen, and returned to Tabarta. Ruadruide made a feast 
for him and for all the assembled multitudes at a distance from 
Tabarta on the highway leading to the Bruiteine of Gaalen. For 
Ruadruide said to me. Tuscar: The eyes of the children of 
Muredac is evil to the sons of Seadna. If we hold the feast on 





727 

Tabarta the murmurs of the tongue would be worse than the 
jealousy of the mind. All hearts were joyous. The following 
day the assembly sat in the high-chamber of Teacmor, and the 
heralds proclaimed: The throne of Errion is empty. Then 
Ruadruide, king of Ullad said: What if Connuig, king of Gaalen, 
be Ardrig? All raised their right hands. Connuig and the 
princes of Gaalen, and Ardfear and the princes of Mumain went 
forth to Liafail, and the Ardcromfear seated him on it and placed 
the Eisaon on his brow, Ardfear, king of Mumain, placed the 
royal robe on his shoulders. They returned to the high-chamber, 
and adjourned to celebrate the feast of Teacmor and the games 
of contest on the field of Tabarta. Afterward they completed the 
second session according to the usage. Peace and prosperity 
did abide in Errion all the days of Connuig. 

In the seventh year of his reign Ardrig went to the chase 
and stag-hunting to the dark valleys of Earb. Now it chanced 
. that a magnificent stag broke through the circle formed by the 
hunters, and Connuig and his hunters followed him that day 
and on the following day the great animal came to bay in the 
middle of a pool of water, and Connuig grasped a spear from 
the hands of one of his retinue, but the attendants thought to 
hinder him, when Ardrig answered. Doth fear pertain to a son 
of Errion? As he raised his arm to give the great stag his fin- 
ishing stroke, like a bolt of lightning he charged and pierced 
Connuig through the heart. His carn was made along the 
waters. There was much weeping and sincere lamentation after 
Connuig for he was well beloved by the children of the land. 
The time of Connuig’s rule over Errion was seven years com- 
plete. His immense carn is called: The tomb of the fearless © 
king.

years, 402 to 396 B. C. And the reign of Oilliol nine years, 396 
to 387 B. C. (See Annals of kingdom of Ireland Vol I. Page 
64. Under the name Airt.) 





Now after the death of Connuig, who was king of Gaalen and 
Ardrig, the assembly of Gaalen convened at the Bruiteine on 
Magnas, they elected Muredac the son of Eocaid quondam Ard- 


728 

rig, king over Gaalen. Curriers went through Errion summon- 
ing kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people 
to Teacmor Tabarta without delay: For the throne of Ardrig 
is vacant. They came seasonably. At the first session of the 
general assembly they elected Ardfear king of Mumain as Ard- 
rig. He did not go out to Liafail, Ruadruide, king of Ullad, 
placed the Eisaon on his brow, and F ead, the son of Lorc, prince 
of Ib-Lugad, spread the royal robe on his shoulders. Complet- 
ing the first session, they adjourned and the great portals of the 
high-chamber were shut. Now before they began to celebrate 
the feast of Teacmor, or the games of contest on the field of 
Tabarta, the heralds proclaimed: If it appeareth well to the 
king and nobles and fair ladies of Ullad, and to the king and 
nobles and the fair ladies of Gaalen, and to the king and nobles 
and fair ladies of Ultonnmact, Ardrig would extend the nine . 
days of the festivity to seven and twenty, so that there would . 
be ample time to accord fair trial to the hosts who have come 
from all quarters of the world? All sent special messengers to 
him, saying: Yes it is most pleasing to us. All hearts were 
full of joy. Indeed innumerable were the multitudes surroun 1. 
ing Tabarta. Besides the contestants, champions, athletes, com- 
panies, musicians, warriors, and Corybanyes (curad-bin- t-aos). 
When the general assembly met in the second session the 
writings were read according to usage. Then the heralds called 
aloud: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding justice? But 
no voice answered. In the second year of the reign of Ardfear, 
Ruadruide king of Ullad died, after a reign of twenty years. 
- When the Assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine they 
elected Fiaca, the son of Ruadruide, king over Ullad. In the 
sixth year of his reign Ardfear died. When the assembly of 
Mumain convened on the Bruiteine, they elected Oilliol, the 
brother of Ardfear, as king of Mumain. Oilliol was likewise 
elected Ardrig on Tabarta. Oilliol Ardrig commanded the 
esteem and love of every kingdom of Errion, and so deeply estb- 
lished was peace and contentment in the land, that there was 
neither revolt nor crime to be adjudicated any of the three 
times which the general assembly convened on Tabarta! In 
‘the ninth year of his reign Oilliol expired.

IX. Book. X. Chapter. Reign oí Eocaid, son of Ardfear, 


seven years from 387 to 380 B.C. (See Annals of the Kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 66. Age of world 4416.) 





Now after the death and interrment of Oilliol the worthy 
Ardrig, the princes and nobles of Mumain gathered on the Brui- 
teine and they elected Eocaid, son of Ardfear, king of Mumain. 

This same time there went out to every Tanasteac of Errion 
swift curriers saying: Without delay let the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people assemble in the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, for the throne of Errion is 
empty. The general assembly convened seasonably. Tuscar 
the Ardollam arose saying: The throne of Errion is vacant. 
Then Fiaca, king of Ullad arose and said: O fellow princes, and 
free children of Errion, while Ardfear ruled over Errion peace 
was in the land for Ardfear was noble minded, merciful, and 
just, and under Oilliol, Ardfear’s brother, that peace increased 
and widened until peace bloomed through every kingdom of 
Errion! In his days hand in hand came peace, wisdom, plenty, 
happiness, fame, and goodness over all the land, on account 
of all these fortunate things, what if Eocaid, the son of Ardfear, 
sit on the throne of Errion so that the peace and happiness of 
the days of Ardfear and Oilliol may still illustrate and illumine 
the fortunate land of Errion? Eocaid was elected unanimously. 
But he did not go forth to Liafail, Fiaca placed the Eisaon on his 
brow, and Fead, the son of Fead, prince of Ib-Lugad laid the 
royal robe on his shoulders, terminating as usual they went 
forth, and celebrated with enthusiasm the feast of Teacmor, 
and the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. No one stood 
on Tabarta demanding justice when the heralds called. In the 
third year of the reign of Eocaid, Tuscar the Ardollam of Ullad 
died. The ollams held a conference from all the Mur-n-ollams 
of Ullad, and elected Tinne Ardollam. After ruling over Ullad 
sixteen years Fiaca expired, and they buried him in cluaneac 
and there they constructed him a carn, great and wonderful 
_ above him. Great lamentation burst forth in Ullad at his de- 
mise, for he was beloved by the children of the land. 

When the assembly of Ullad met on the Bruiteine they 
elected Airgeadmor, son of Fiaca, king over Ullad. When 


“30 
Eocaid had ruled seven years Ardrig he expired and his cairn q 
rises in Mumain alongside the cairns of Ardfear and Oilliol. 





IX. Book. XI. Chapter. Reign of Airgeadmor son of Fiaca i 
thirty years from 380 to 350 B.C. (See Annals of the kingdom i 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 66. Age of world 4423. Also Lynch.) @ 





Now at the decease of Eocaid the swift curriers went forth q 
through Errion saying: Let the general assembly of Errion 
convene on Tabarta without delay for the throne of Ardrig is 
empty, and as Baal entered the second division of his house 
Iarsgith, the general assembly was in session in the high-cham- 
ber of Teacmor Tabarta. At this juncture also Daire the son 
of Oilliol was elected king in Mumain. In the. first session 
Tinne, the Ardollav, arose saying: The throne of Errion is 
vacant. Then arose Daire, the king of Mumain, saying: O © 
fellow rulers of Errion, what if Airgeadmor, the son of Fiaca, . 
king. of Ullad, the munificent, the gentle son of the mighty race 
of Er, sit Ardrig? Every member raised the right hand. 

Airgeadmor (great silver) did not go forth to Liafail, Daire, 
king of Mumain, placed the Eisaon on his brow, and the king of 
Gaalen spread the royal robe on his shoulders. Airgeadmor 
sat on the throne, and ordered that the writings of Eolus be 
read publicly and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag, and on 
finishing, Aongais (Aeneas) the chieftain of Earb arose saying: 
When the general assembly sits the second session Aongais has . 
a question to ask which pertains to the affairs of Errion. So . 
the assembly adjourned, the portals of the high-chambers were 
closed, then they celebrated the great feast of Teacmor, and 
the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. As soon as the 
general assembly convened the second session, Aongais the 
chieftain of Earb arose saying: It is said: That Rang the king 
of Ultonnmact has set forth with a heavy fleet to the eastern 
world even to the Tyrrhenian sea to act in concert with the crew 
of pirates who seize spoils from every sea; as you see the place 
of the king of Ultonnmact is empty behind the throne? 

Does not the law of Errion forbid her princes to go forth 
from their country even to seek fame in honorable battles? Is 
it right or just that these houseless boors should sit in the 





731 


high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, while their king, such a king 
as he is, is sailing as a sea giant over the waters? Is it not meet 
that his housesless boors be in his company murdering and 
taking booty from the merchants, and every ship whose crew 
is weak enough to suit the prowess of hulking brutes? There- 
fore what if we expell the Danaan forever from the high-cham-— 
ber of Teacmor Tabarta? Immediately Forb, one of the eight 
members of the Danaan leaped to his feet, and answered with a 
scowl and a voice hoarse with wrath: Aongais, the chieftain 
of Earb, lies—, and if he uttered his insulting address in the 
field of Liugne or Dallan, I would give his blood as food to the 
wild cats. A murmur ran through the high-chamber, imme- 
diately the princes and nobles of Gaalen were on their feet. 
Ardrig said: Abide gentle nobles, it is not the custom to answer 
the anger of the weak, with violence in the high-chamber of 
Teacmor. They sat, and the king of Gaalen arose saying: O 
fellow rulers and free sons of Errion, if the story be true which 
Aongais, the chieftain of Earb has heard, it is a grave indict- 
ment. What if the cause be investigated? But Aod, the son of 
Cas, chieftain of largaal, arose and said: What if Orc, the 
chieftain of Corran, would speak? Arising, Ore said: O high- 
princes of Errion, since the days of Eocaid Ollav Fodla, the 
Danaan came into the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta as 
brothers, and sat among the princes of Errion doing counsel 
and raising their hands. During that time the hand of the 
Danaan’s friendship was without treachery. If perchance Forb 
was angry and quickworded against the ugly accusation charged 
against his race, is it just on that account that every good deed 
done by the Danaan from the beginning should be forgotten? 
Every one knows the deceit and subterfuge of the cromfir? Is 
it possible for the Danaan to stand in the face of the jealousy of 
the cromfir? By all the spirits in the legion of Bothmion they 
cannot! Was it possible for Ardrig Eocaid Ollav Fodla, or was 
it possible for Tigernmas? Is it possible for the king of Iber? 
The race of Iolair alone stands with them because they are 
tools in their hands! If the merchants of Feine whisper a word 
in the ears of the cromfir of Gaalen calumniating the king: He 
sailed away to the eastern world a sea giant, who shall testify? 
Will the cromfir send their god Mercury (sea-currier) to trace 


7323 
him? Orc declares Rang was absent when word summoning i 
him to Tabarta came, íor he knew not that Ardrig was dead. . 
For we have no oracular god like the cromfirs’ god Ana, it is q 
also quite a while since the Ardcromfear took our Stanclidden q 
from us? Had Rang known the assembly was to sit undoubtedly . 
he would be here. When Orc concluded some voices were — 
heard: If Ardrig would speak? Ardrig said: It is written . 
in the tract of the law of Errion: Let every tongue be silent in . 
presence of the judge while accused is absent. Rang is not 
present. Ardrig says: Let the law of Errion prevail. “Then i 
the tract of the laws of Errion and the book of Chronicles were . 
read, and the heralds called aloud: Stands any one on Tabarta . 


demanding justice? But no voice answered. “The general as- . 


sembly went forth and dispersed to the lands of their dwellings. . 
In the second year of Airgeadmor’s reign the king of Gaalen . 
died. As the assembly of Gaalen gathered on the Bruiteine at 
Magnas they elected Fiaca, the son, to succeed the father as 
king of Gaalen. In the fifth year of the reign of Airgeadmor, 
he dispatched the swift curriers through Errion saying: When 
Baal enters the first division of Iarsgith what time the fires will 
blaze on the raths of Errion, let the kings, princes, chieftains, . 
ollavs, and tribunes of the people, assemble in the high-chamber . 
_of Teacmor Tabarta in presence of Ardrig. During the first ses- . 
sion Airgeadmor arose saying: O most noble fellow-rulers, 
peace and content reigns in Errion, we have assembled to fulfill 
our practices by celebrating the feast of Teacmor and the games 
on Tabarta. Now it transpired that after the reading of the 
writings Tinne, the Ardollam, fell ill, and died in the fifth year 
of the reign of Airgeadmor. The heralds called publicly: 
Stands any one on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice an- 
swered. When the general assembly adjourned, Airgeadmor 
set out for Ullad, and he invited the princes, chieftains, ollavs, 
and tribunes of the people as well as the judges to meet him on 
the Bruiteine of Ullad. When the assembly convened Airgead- 
mor seated his brother Ardfear as viceroy over Ullad. At this 
same juncture the ollavs held a conference, and they elected 
Docta in the place of Tinne as Ardollam of Ullad. Now in those 
days there were not among all the sons of Errion any more 
handsome of face nor more graceful of figure than Airgeadmor, 





733 

for skill and dexterity in arms he had no equal in all the land. 
He not alone liked the chase, the dance, music and heroic deeds, 
but was also a refined conversationalist, wise in council, so pa- 
tient to hear, and when he spoke his countenance was serene 
and full of light, his words were words of wisdom, when he re- 
fused, his denial was gentle and princely. 3 

For these reasons the cromfir were led to believe it possible 
to incline Airgeadmor to their party interests for his voice was 
always so gentle. It happened in the seventh year of the reign 
of Airgeadmor when he came to Ullad, that Toil one of the 
cromfir who aspired to the title of Ardcromfear which he hoped 
to gain by the influence of Ardrig. With that he hoped to re- 
tain Airgeadmor by the love and beauty of his daughter Cara. 
_ One of the most beautiful maidens in all Ullad. On a certain 
day when the king was at the tents of Aod, the chieftain of 
Maginse Toill came and the maiden with him. And it is alledged 
that he received no invitation. What time Airgeadmor returned 
to Dunsoberce, Toill also stood in his presence holding the hand 
of Cara, his daughter, in his, they made a long sojourn day and 
night in Dunsoberce, and when Toill returned to the land of his 
dwelling he did not take the maiden with him but left her with a 
woman of his kindred who dwelt in proximity to Dunsoberce. 
The time these things occurred I, Docta, was staying in the 
Mur-n-ollam of Dunsoberce, and a message came to me with 
words from the king saying: Let Docta advance to Dunsoberce, 
and immediately I came into the presence of the king, and I 
found there in his company Ardfear, the prince and Gaalar, the 
chief judge. And the tract of the law of Errion was open, and 
the writings of Eocaid Ollav Fodla was spread out, Airgeadmor 
said: It would be well that Docta and Gaalar should be ac- 
quainted that Toill, one of the cromfir, was here with me, say- 
ing: Undoubtedly the nine laws of the nine cromfir from the 
beginning were at first in the roll of the laws of Errion, and on 
the roll of the laws of Ullad, yea even at the head of the chapter. 
But the ollavs threatened Cairbre when he dwelt in the Mur-n- 
ollam of Dunsoberce, yea even after he abdicated the kingdom 
in favor of Oilliol Boirngneat, in his old age when he was at 
the point of death, that he would suffer the nine laws to be 
erased from the head of the roll! Toill said likewise: If the 


134 

‘king would restore the nine laws to the place they held in the i 
days of Eocaid the father of Cairbre? , i 
Examine the tract of the laws, and the writings of Eocaid 4 
and see if the words of Toill be true? The writings were scru- . 
tinized letter by letter and word by word, but indeed there was . 
no letter nor no word erased. Then the king said, when I shall . 
have set out for Teacmor let Ardfear call Toill of the cromfir, . 
and show him the tract of the laws and the writings of Eocaid q 
in presence of Docta and Gaalar. O Ardfear thou wilt say to . 
Toill: There is no place on the roll of the laws of Uliad for . 
anyones desires, and nothing has been erased therefrom. Ard- . 
fear did as the king commanded. Toill’s anger blazed forth and . 
many a question he put regarding Baal. Indeed his words were . 
like the words of one raving. He put the same question and — 
the same words frequently, and he spoke as a person having . 


power saying: Is thy opinion O Ardfear that Baal did not . 


give the nine laws to the nine cromfir in the beginning? Ardfear . 
answered him: I ask you: Has Baal spoken to Toill at any . 
time? Toill said He has not for the book of Baal is closed for- . 
ever! But if he should speak none but the cromfir would under- . 
stand his words. Whether the words were true or false they . 
cannot be verified now, this is not the first time Ardfear has . 


heard the words spoken by Toill. But every time my mind re- . 


verts to them the counsel of my intellect casts them out as the . 
crafty schemes of the cromfir for binding down the Gaal. 

So Toill departed in anger and set out for Teacmor and 
Cara his daughter in.company with him. They stood in presence 
of Ardrig, and Toill dwelt in the king’s pavillion on Tavarta. 
After a time they returned to Toill’s home in the king’s chariot, 
and Cara brought forth a male child, and Toill waxed immensely 
rich in flocks and herds and valuables and treasures of all kinds. 
Cara also retained in a splendor befitting the mother of a king’s 
child. Now in those days it happened that Eneige the Ard- 
cromfir died, immediately Toill came to the king saying: I wish 
to be elected Ardcromfir? But Airgeadmor answered: Let Toill . 
draw from the wealth and treasures of Airgeadmor to his hearts . 
content, and he is welcome, but regarding affairs pertaining to . 
the office of Ardrig of Errion, every tongue must be silent. Not- . 
withstanding Toill ceased not his importunities, until he wearied . 





735 
the king, on this account he did not permit Cara to come into his 
presence any more. Now in the twelíth year oí the reign of 
Airgeadmor Daire, king of Mumain, and Fiaca, king of Gaalen, 
made a covenant of revolt and conspiracy against Ardrig, they 
began to prepare their comlanns, the same time Ardrig sent a 
message to Dromt, king of Ultonnmact, saying: Let Dromt 
march with the strength of his army across the waters of Athluan 
(Athlone). Airgeadmor marched with the Army of Ullad to the 
south, and met the auxiliary army of the Danaan under the hill 
of Crocain from the west. When Ardrig ascertained that the 
armies of Mumain had made a junction and lay encamped at the 
source of the Buideaman in the plain of Oris, he sent Meorlaoc, 
chieftain of Glenadun, with heralds saying: What meaneth this 
great gathering of the warriors of the land? Must the blood 
of the Gaal be shed again? Daire, the king of Mumain, an- 
swered: O knight of Glenadun, we wish only to awaken the 
tune of the song for the harp of the king. Now there was not 
in all Errion the equal of Airgeadmor to bring forth the music 
of the harp. Maerlaoc answered: If the groans of those falling 
in slaughter be music to the ears of Daire it would be just if 
he shared that music first himself? But lo, before Airgeadmor 
and his armies came in view, Fiaca and the army of Gaalen 
wheeled about and marched away, when Daire saw this he 
marched in all haste to Mumain, and Ardrig followed his march, 
but the army of Mumain made neither delay nor stop, until they 
came to the plains of Athdair, and on the hills Daire arraved 
his army in the form of battle. Then Ardrig commanded the 
heralds: Proclaim in the hearing of Daire king of Mumain: 
Ardrig is passing over the crest of Athdair, let no one hinder his 
passage. The battle began nor had it continued long when Daire 
fell by a stone from one of the slingers. Lugad, son of Daire, 
a lad of sixteen who came with some companions when he heard 
his father was in Athdair was fighting bravely at his father’s 
side. Now when Daire fell his army broke from the brunt of 
the fight, but the prince Lugad threw himself over the body 
of his father, and was captured and taken to Ardrig, but Air- 
geadmor spoke kindly to him. The youth besought Ardrig’s 
permission to construct a carn over his father? Airgeadmor 
answered: Go, my child, and I will assist. So Daire’s carn 


736 


was made on the spot in which he fell. The bards were chant- ; 


ing the death-song of Daire. And Airgeadmor awakened his . 
harp in unison with the minstrels of Mumain, and bands of mai- . 


dens and matrons mourned over Daire. Airgeadmor laid aside q 
his harp, and standing between Lugad and Cobtac, Daire’s — 


brother, he began the war-song of the king. He mourned Daire . 
the flower of Mumain saying: It is meet and lawful to praise i 
the brave warrior when his ear hears not, for that reason Air- . 


geadmor, the son of Er, will celebrate the glorious prowess of . 
_ Daire, the son of Iber. But Airgeadmor will be silent in regard 4 


to Fiaca, king of Gaalen, because his ear doth not listen. Cob-. . 
tac and Lugad and the nobles of Mumain returned with Aigead- . 
mor to his tents. When Airgeadmor set out for Teacmor he . 
presented Ainluat his horse the best of all king’s horses to Lugad, 7 
and embraced him and gave him the hand of friendship. Ceath, . 


the brother of Dromth, led the army of the Danaan back to . 
Ultonnmact, and Dromt accompanied Ardrig to Teacmor. Ard- 4

rig sent swiít curriers through Errion saying: Let the kings, . 


princes, chieftains, ollavs and the tribunes of the people as- . 
semble in the high-chamber of Teacmor without delay in the . 
presence of Ardrig, but to Fiaca, king of Gaalen, he sent a . 
certain message: Fiaca, king of Gaalen, will answer in the q 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta the reason he marched forth i 
the army of Gaalen against Ardrig? At this time also the as- . 
sembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine and elected Cob- . 
tac. the brother of Daire, king over Mumain. Now when the i 
general assembly oí Errion sat in the high-chamber oí Teacmor . 
Tabarta, Ardrig arose and said: O most noble high-princes . 
oí Errion, aíter you have celebrated the great feast of Teacmor . 


Ardrig has a word for the ear of Errion. When they had read 


the book of Chronicles of Gaalag and the writings of Eolus they. i 
went íorth and celebrated the feast of Teacmor and the games . 
of contest on the field of Tabarta. When the assembly sat the . 


second session Ardrig arose before the assembly, saying: Fel- . 


low rulers and high nobles of Errion, this is the word of interest . 
to you: Let Fiaca, king of Gaalen, answer the reason why, he . 


led his army against Ardrig? 


Fiaca answered: In truth Daire came to Gaalen studs a great . 
and imposing force, and you understand there is no refusing 3 





737 


when such a one asks? As soon as Ardrig heard the excuse 
he gave it no credence, for he said: Were not Daire and Fiaca 
friendly? Therefore Airgeadmor said: Since Fiaca did not 
hinder the foot of Daire, but on the contrary marched as an 
auxiliary with him against Ardrig, by Baal let the general as- 
sembly of Errion weigh your excuse. Is it just that the Gaal 
shall be dragged from their peaceful pursuits without cause? 
Since it is not customary for the army of Ullad to drive off 
spoils. What if Fiaca, king of Gaalen, pay an eric (a fine for 
shedding blood) of a thousand cows? Fiaca arose quickly say- 
ing will not Mumain pay half that eric. Ardrig answered: Let 
every tongue be silent against Daire for he sleeps under his 
carn, he paid his life as his eric therefore hath Airgeadmor 
wept. Then the Ardollav repeated the words of Ardrig: What 
if Fiaca, king of Gaalen, pay an eric of a thousand cows? 

The majority showed their right hands. It was so decreed. 
Now when the cattle were driven to the lands of Ardrig he in- 
quired to whom did the cows belong? The herders answered 
they were assessed as a high-rent on the Gaal. Ardrig ordered: 
Drive back the cattle to the Gaal to whom they belong. 

It is not just nor right that the Gaal should suffer a penalty 
for the king’s crime. Let a thousand cows be taken from the 
herds of Fiaca, he it is who is guilty, his is the duty to pay eric. 
It was so. Ardrig ordered the herdsmen to drive the cattle to 
the lands of the king of Ultonnmact. He likewise sent an em- 
bassy to Dromt: The Danaan tastes the bitter cup of high- 
rent and tribute, it is well that he should sometimes taste the 
sweet cup of justice? After this Ardrig set out for Dunsoberce, 
and he summoned the assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine, and 
every word of the story pertaining to Fiaca and Daire and the 
war they waged were read publicly, and the words of the tract 
of the law, and the book of Chronicles. When the heralds 
called: Stands any one on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding 
justice? No voice answered. Then the great feast was pre- 
pared, and then the hunters came from every Tanasteac of 
Ullad, and the common soldiers of the comlanns and as the 
army stood in order, they began to mimic the acts of battle, and 
they made all their movements according to the rules of dis- 
cipline written by Seadna on this head. It was a pleasing sight 


738 


to see the army ordered comlann by comlann, in act of halt . 
and march, making the running charge, and the slow walk, all i 
as one spear all as a wall, the swing as one, the array and the line 4 
of battle as instructs the tactic book of Seadna. When the q 
festivities were over Airgeadmor returned to Teacmor. Ardfear . 
rules in Ullad with truth and justice. Now certain information i 
came to Ardrig saying: Fiaca incites Cobtac to revolt, but . 
Cobtac hesitates. Ardrig held Errion in peace. Now in the q 
twenty-second year of the reign of Airgeadmor Ardfear, the . 
prince of Er expired, and Ullad mourned him. - a 

Ardrig placed his son Badorn as viceroy in Ullad. He com- 4 
manded him: Arouse the spirit of the youth, keep the judge . 
within the limits of the law, and the cromfir in their proper . 
place. In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Airgeadmor i 
it transpired that Fiaca, King of Gaalen died, and when the as- . 
sembly of Gaalen came on the Bruiteine they elected Duac, son . 
of Fiaca, king over Gaalen, a month from that day Docta the i 
Ardollav died, and when the ollams held conference they elected . 
Aonract Ardollam oí Ullad. In the twenty-eighth year of the 4 
reign of Airgeadmor Cobtac, king of Mumain died, when the i 
assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine they elected . 
Lugad, son of Daire, king over Mumain. In the twenty-ninth i 
year of the reign of Airgeadmor, the swift curriers were dis- . 
patched through Errion saying: Let the kings, princes, chief- i 
tains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people assemble when the fires . 
shall blaze on the tops of the raths of Errion, in the high-cham- . 
ber of Teacmor Tabarta in presence of Ardrig. When the gen- . 
eral assembly sat the first session, Ardrig said: O most re- . 
nowned fellow rulers Ardrig has no message for the ears of Er- i 


rion save the joy for peace reigns over every Tanasteac oí Er- | 


rion. The writings of Eolus were read and the book of the 1 


‘Chronicles of Gaalag, they went forth to celebrate the feast oí . 


Teacmor and the games on the field of Tabarta. Indeed it was i 


easily perceived that the minds of Duac and Lugad were against . 


Ardrig, Lugad bestowed a racehorse on Ardrig but more in the . 
nature of a payment for Ainluat than a token of good will for . 
the hand and heart of Lugad were cold. When the general . 
assembly had finished their sittings in the customary manner 
Ardrig set out for Dunsoberce. 





739 


He called the princes and nobles to him and spoke to them 
of the hatred of the children of Iolair against the children of: 
Er on account of the Muredac. Though many princes of Iber are 
friendly on account of the love between Duac and Seadna, never- 
_ theless the manner of the death of Daire renders Lugad frantic. 
Therefore it would be well if the chieftains become thoroughly | 
conversant with the book of Seadna on the tactics and evolu- 
tions of war, that they exercise the comlanns of the common 
Gaal according to the very text of the words for ordering battle. 
After that Ardrig returned to Teacmor. It was now Lugad and 
Duac manifested their design for though the words of Duac 
were friendly, notwithstanding his heart was replete with treach- 
ery. The sound of the names of Muredac Simon Breac were. 
yet in the ears of Duac. But Lugad was ready on account of 
the fall of his father to seek revenge. Now the time that the 
pair were smiling on Airgeadmor, they were in secret plotting | 
a conspiracy against Ardrig. They thought to induce Dromt, | 
king of Ultonnmact, to aid them, saying: O Dromt, if the. 
Danaan were to follow Iber or Erimion as they do Er, Ultonn- 
mact should be freer? But they could not prevail on Dromt. 
He related all to Ardrig up to this time they did no overt act. 
In those days it transpired that Ardrig went from Teacmor on 
a visit to mount Alta the fortress and dwelling of Erid, the 
brother of the chieftain of Ardeas, thence they went on a fishing 
excursion to the waters of the Ramar. A horseman riding full 
speed came saying: The army of Mumain led by Lugad are 
near Magnas the Bruiteine of Gaalen, and Duac is ordering for 
a joint march with him. Immediately Ardrig dispatched swift 
curriers to Dromt and Badorn, saying: Begin your march im- 
mediately for the confederated forces of Mumain and Gaalen 
are marching from Magnas on Teacmor. Then Ardrig massed 
the comlanns of Ullad which were near at hand, he heard at the 
same time that Lugad and Duac marched with the full strength 
of their armies, notwithstanding Ardrig set out against them, 
and as he came near the confluence of the Dubaman. and the 
Ruideaman he saw the confederated forces of Mumain and 
Gaalen. Airgeadmor said: We will cross in view of their hosts. 
At this period it chanced there was but little water in the river 
bed for it was a season of heat and drouth. Baal was in middle 


740 


day, for this reason Ardrig was arrayed in his helmet and light- 
est mail, his Eisaon and royal robes were in Teacmor. When 
Ardrig was crossing the stream in the view of the armies of 
Mumain and Gaalen they saw three columns of the Danaan and 
Geintir coming to the aid of Ardrig, immediately the army of 
Gaalen turned back for Duac mistook them for the brave handed 
comlanns of Ullad, but the army of Mumain stood arrayed in 
line of battle. After a while when Gaalen saw they were only 
the legions of the Danaan their spirit and bravery returned, 
and came back to line of battle with Mumain. Airgeadmor com- 
manded the heralds: Ardrig marches to Teacmor let no one 
hinder his passage. Ardrig likewise ordered: Thus the battle 
shall be organized: The phalanx of Ullad will make its charge 
and mighty spear rush against Gaalen, but let the Dannaan and 
Firgneath stand against Mumain, until Ullad will have routed 
Gaalen then they will come to your aid by a flank charge on the 
army of Mumain, With that the battle began, at the first charge 
Airgeadmor broke and routed the forces of Gaalen. But when 


Lugad and the forces of Mumain closed with the Danaan and 


Firgneath, the Firgneath fled at the first charge. But the 
Danaan indeed stood bravely, but the battle had the semblance 
of butchery and massacre, for the comlanns of Mumain faced and 
survived to cross the river! Then Lugad and his army closed 
with Ardrig and the comlann of Ullad, and they fought with 
bravery and order, and still the Army of Ullad and Badorn 


SA ea ee ee 








hove not in view. Towards the decline of the day Airgeadmor . 


pierced by many wounds fell. As soon as Duac ascertained that 
Ardrig was dead, off he went to Teacmor and the army of 
Gaalen as escort, he entered the king’s palace. But Lugad and 


the army of Mumain fought as long as the light illumined the 


plain. The following morning the hosts of Mumain repaired to 
Teacmor Tabarta. Now when Badorn arrived he found odd and 
seven thousand slain on the field, and many princes and cean- 
comlann, and brave champion besides Ardrig were among the 
dead, examining the bodies of the dead he perceived that the 
wounds were all on the front, but very few wounded in the 
back, therefore Badorn said What if this be a day of mourning 
for Errion, still it is a day glorious to the bravery of the soldiers 
of Ullad? So they dug seventy trenches one hundred feet long 


“41 


each, and buried the bodies seven abreast, and constructed a 
mighty carn over them asa tomb. Meilig the bard chanted their 
elegy, but Badorn awakened their battle song, and said: Let this 
carn be called “Ardbreacean” íorever! But they bore the weight 
of Airgeadmor to Dunsoberce. On the second day he met the 
comlanns oí Ullad marching in force. As soon as they heard 
what had befallen they smote their breasts, and a murmur ran 
through the twenty comlanns, and the heads oí the comlanns 
besought Badorn that he would construct Ardrig’s carn on the 
spot and lead the army to Teacmor Tabarta? But Badorn 
answered: O brave fellow soldiers, is not the seat of the king 
- of Ullad, and the throne of Errion empty? It appeareth neither 
proper nor just to me that we should march hence to Teacmor, 
I do not think it well to be said: The children of Ullad tired 
of the weight of Airgeadmor, and buried him on the wayside to 
their homes! The commanders answered: Thou hast the truth 
O Badorn! They turned the signs of the comlanns and the 
Baldric (Baalbrath) of Ullad floating without word or noise ex- 
cept the command” to Dunsoberce” they marched. On either 
side of him marched his five sons the glory of Airgeadmor their 
father! They interred him in Cluaneac, in the fine meadow 
where Airgeadmor while living loved to view his horses at play ' 
and all Ullad awakened the death chant, and the Cincomlann 
intoned the battle-song calling him: “Airgeadmor the munificent, 
the brave!” 





IX. BOOK, XII. CHAPTER. 
REIGN OF DUAC TEN YEARS, 350 TO 340 B. C. 


(See Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, Vol. I, Page 68. Age 
of World, 4463. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 


Now the assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine and 
they elected Badorn, the oldest son of Airgeadmor, as king over 
Ullad. When the general assembly of Errion convened in the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, Duac king ot Gaalen was 
chosen Ardrig. With that the wrath of Lugad blazed forth, 
and he related publicly in the hearing of the people that there 
was a covenant of conspiracy between himself ana Duac like 


742 
this: That if earnest assistance be given to overthrow the chil- 
dren of Er, that Lugad and Duac would divide Errion between 
them. Now Duac never affirmed that the saying was false, nor 
that no such treaty was on foot. But he said: That Lugad did 
not render him effective aid. For this reason discord and enmity 
existed between Lugad and Duac all their days. 


Ullad dwells in peace and content. All Badorn’s thoughts 
and aspirations are about the welfare of Ullad, he confirms the 
spirit of the youth through all the land, and makes seasomable 
visits to the Mur-ollavs, he said it avails little that Eocaid Ollav 
Fodla established the Mur-n-ollav of Teacmor, for the ollavs 
are without pupils except while a son of Er fills the throne of 
Errion! This is the cause why the king and nobles of Mumain 
and Gaalen are without the knowledge of truth and their Gaal 
deteriorating, they prize wisdom (science of truth) no more than 
the tempest prizes the ship laden with treasures. Their desires 
are unbridled, without reason, the aspiration of the people of 
Gaalen is to follow the cromfir, but of Mumain to follow war as 
a sport, for they sing among the wounded and dying, and dance 
as they drive away spoils. Ullad permits them their chosen 
ways, some day perchance wisdom and truth will obtain. Now, 
it transpired in the tenth year of Duac’s reign that Lugad waged 
war against him, and organizing his army in its full complement, 
he marched on Gaalen, indeed he drove the army of Gaalen 
before him even unto Magnas, there Duac and his comlanns made 
a stand and arrayed in line for battle. They fought a battle brave 
by desperation around Magnas even the Bruiteine of Gaalen. 
Even the cromfir of Gaalen mixed in the battle to inspire the 

Gaal, but Lugad commanded the heralds to call publicly: O 
- soldiers, silence the cromfir, for Lugad a son of Iber is on his 
way to Teacmor Tabarta! And the army of Gaalen could not 
prevail against. Lugad. Of noble and common there fell in 
this engagement dead and found four thousand. Duac Ardrig 
fell wounded to the death by the Gaal, for as in the battle of 
Ardbreacan he would not show himself to Airgeadmor so in this 
battle he came not in view of Lugad. Duac’s carn stands to the 
west of Magnas, for there it was they buried him. 





743 
IX. Book. XIII. Chapter. Reign of Lugad, son of Daire, four 
years 340 to 336 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland 
Vol. I. Page 68. Age of world 4463. Under the name of Lugad 
Laigde. Also in Annals of Clonmicnois.) 





Now Lugad and the army of Mumain marched to Teacmor 
Tabarta, and Lugad entered the king’s palace, he dispatched 
swift riders through Errion saying: Let the general assembly 
of Errion convene on Tabarta when Baal shall fill this quarter, 
in order to elect Ardrig. Now it chanced that some time elapsed 
before a king was chosen in Gaalen, for the destruction of the 
princes and nobles was so great that confusion was present, 
even many of the chieftancies were without a chieftain, and 
there was no king over Gaalen when the call to the general 
assembly to Teacmor Tabarta came. Therefore when Badorn, 
king of Ullad, and the princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes 
of the people, and Magn king of Ultonnmact and the nobles 
of the Danaan stood on Tabarta, Badorn addressed Lugad and 
Magn: O fellow-kings you know it is unlawful to elect Ardrig, 
while the seat of the king of Gaalen, and the place of her 
princes and nobles are empty in the high-chamber? But Lugad 
answered: Had it transpired that the army of Mumain had 
exterminated the king and princes of Gaalen all from the floor 
of the land, would Errion therefore have to remain without an 
Ardrig? This is what Lugad son of Daire saith: O good men 
of Ullad return to your Mur-n-ollavs and write learnedly, for 
it is according to Lugad the son of Daire that the land of Er- 
rion will now be ruled. Badorn and the princes and nobles of 
Ullad, and Magn the king of Ultonnmact and the nobles of the 
Danaan departed for the land of dwellings until a king should 
be chosen for Gaalen. So Lugad and the princes and nobles of 
Mumain (for they quickly elected princes and chieftains to re- 
place those who fell in the battle) entered the high-chamber, 
and he sat on the throne, such the title to Ardrig held by Lugad. 
When Lugad had sat one year and the appointed time for the 
convening of the general assembly in Teacmor Tabarta ar- 
rived, the swift curriers were not dispatched through the land. 
For this reason Badorn sent Aod his oldest son on an embassy 
to Magn king of Ultonnmact with words saying: O friend 


744 


it is not meet to pay Ardcios to the king of Mumain if 
you respect the laws of Errion. What time Lugad shall send 
to Magn (and he will certainly send for Lugad is agressive 
and daring) be you prepared through the whole of Ultonnmact, 
and warn me in Dunsoberce of Lugad’s words. Now Aod set 
out for the fortifications of Magn at Cruacan, and related to 
Magn the words of his father, and while there it chanced that 
Aod saw Maca the beauteous daughter of Magn, and the eye of 
the maiden spoke to his heart, and he gave her his love. = Aod 
returned to Dunsoberce, and related the words of Magn to his 
father saying: Undoubtedly Magn will act according to the 
words of Badorn. With that he said: My eyes beheld Maca 
the daughter of Magn, and gave the love of my heart and my 
affections to her, what saith my father? Badorn answered per- 
chance you did your wooing too quickly? Return my son to 
the tents of Magn, and without any hurry do your court as 
reason shall suggest. And Aod went back and disclosed to 
Magn his mission, and Magn was well pleased and Aod took | 
unto him the virgin, and for a time he made his abode in Dun- 
soberce. In those days Ros a prince of Er died without issue, 
and Aod said to his father and his brothers: 

If Aod would secure permission he would raise his tents 
on Ardsceulact? He will observe the covenant. The words 
of Aod pleased his father and brothers. And Aod pitched his 
tents on Ardsceulact. Now two years elapsed since Lugad had 
seized the throne of Errion, still he had demanded no Ardcios 
from Ultonnmact. On the death of Badorn when the assembly 
of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine they elected Aod king over 
Ullad. At the same time Eocaid brother of Duac was elected 
king in Gaalen, and married Darina the daughter of Lugad. 
Then it was that Lugad manifested his designs. When Magn 
came on a visit to Ardsceulact for there Aod still abode, Lugad 
sent messengers to him demanding: For what purpose hath 
he done so? Aod answered to the ear of the messengers: 

As soon as Lugad shall summon the general assembly of 
Errion to convene in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, Aod 
will answer the words of Lugad in the presence of the assembly. 
When Lugad heard the answer of Aod he swore by the sword 
of Daire his father to humble the pride of Ullad. He sent his 








RED TEI FE Om Ros ms —w '————w 


745 


heralds through Errion disparging Aod. When Aod ascertained 
the acts and íalsehoods oí Lugad he began to concentrate the 
comlanns and order the army of Ullad. When Magn heard of 
the mobilizing of the army of Ullad and no word from Aod to 
himself he became melancholy and he sent letters by the hand 
of a trusty messenger to Aod saying: Doth not the king of 
Ullad wish the aid and company of Magn, king of Ultonnmact, 
father of Maca Aod’s queen? Why hath not Magn received 
information regarding this war? He still may prove himself 
worthy the friendship of Aod? Aod returned an answer by 
the hand of the messenger: Lugad hath sworn by the sword 
of his father that he would humble the pride of Ullad, there- 
fore Aod beseeches Magn to listen to the noise and clangor of 
battle, for the son of Marcac thinks it easy to overcome the 
children of Er! Let Ultonnmact be like the hound that is 
ready for the leap. 

Aod commanded: Let this war be waged outside Ullad. 
Now Lugad’s ambition was vaulting he swore he would drive 
Aod behind the fortifications of Dunsoberce, and that he would 
drag him out from them. He massed together a mighty army, 
the flower and strength of Mumain, and proudly marched away 
to Dundalgan. The army of Ullad marched according to the 
manoeuvers and tactics taught by Seadna, i. e. the cavalry, 
slingers, and archers, stood spearate without mingling, in com- 
panies either side of the comlanns when formed in line of bat- 
tle. When Aod beheld Lugad and his innumerable army on 


- the land of Ullad, he ran the word through his army saying: 


The king of Ullad did not think he would so soon see Lugad 
and his rent-collecters defiling the soil of Ullad! This is their 
first day and let it be their last, sweep them from the floor of 
the land. The army of Ullad made their heroic charge so sud- 
den, that it was impossible for the comlann to be properly or- 
dered by Lugad until the irresistable impact of Ullad struck 
them and thousands of Mumain fell, and yet there was no sol- 
dier of Ullad scarcely wounded. Aod rode Croman his war- 
horse and he commanded the heralds to proclaim publicly: Aod 
king of Ullad marches from Ardsceulact to Teacmor, will the 
Ardrig of Mumain impede his way? But Lugad came even 
on the heels of the heralds, and as soon as he saw Aod he charged 


746 


him full bravely, and Aod immediately responded saying: By 
the sword of Airgeadmor Lugad will not advance any further 
into Ullad, and before the second shock of battle, Ullad took 
victory for Lugad was dead! Nevertheless the wrath of Ullad 
was blazing, and they speared the comlanns of Mumain until 
they broke, there fell over five thousand men, but the remnant 
fled they did not wait to bear the body of Lugad with them. 
When pursued the young chieftain of Rathboth shouted 
aloud: Why O stout warriors of Mumain are you in such a 
hurry that you bear not the body of your king? But the king: 
of Ullad forbid him saying: Peace, peace O Girard Lugad erred 
but he paid sorely for his mistake? When they ordered the 
army of Ullad after the battle, the royal heralds lifted their 
shields over the head of Aod! This was how Aod wrote to 
Magn: Lugad king of Mumain is dead on the field of Dunal- 
gan his army contested with each other as to speed in their 
flight out of Ullad! But the army of the mighty children of 
Ullad march home with the exception of four dead, and sixty 
wounded who will return in chariots, of all else the mouth of my 
messenger will relate to you. The brave men of Ullad made 
Lugad’s carn where he fell, and Aod and his army marched to 
Dunsoberce where they celebrated a nine days’ feast. 





IX. Book, XIV. Chapter. Reign of Aod son of Badorn twelve 
years from 336 to 324 B. C. (Annals Page 68, under name: 
“Aod Ruad.”) 





After the death of Lugad on the field of Dundalgan, the as- 
sembly of Mumain met on the Bruiteine, and they elected Aon- 
gais (Aeneas) Lugad’s brother king over Mumain. Then the 
swift-curriers went forth through Errion summoning the general 
assembly of Errion together to the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta. When the general assembly sat in session the first 
act was the election of Aod king of Ullad as.Ardrig. Then 
the writings were read as usual, and the assembly went forth, 
and the great portals of the high-chamber were shut, and they 
celebrated the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on 
the field of Tabarta with joy and much munificence. When 
the assembly sat the second session, Ardrig arose and said: O. 








747 


“ fellow rulers of Errion Ardrig hath nothing to disclose to you 


but his thanks for peace and content abides over all Errion, 


Enract the Ardollam read publicly the book of Chronicles, and 


on the third day the tract of the laws of Errion. When the 
heralds called aloud: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding 
justice? No voice answered. The assembly went forth, and 


-set out for their homes in the land of their dwelling. He sum- 


moned the assembly of Ullad to the Bruiteine, and appointed 
Ciombaot son of Fionn son of Airgeadmor viceroy in Ullad, 
and it was customary for Ciombat to dwell in Ardsceulact. 
Whenever Aod comes to Ullad he remains a few days in Dun- 
soberce, thence he makes a visitation around through the land, 
he likewise goes to Ultonnmact and queen Maca in his company 
in order that she may see her kindred. In the third year of 
Aod’s reign Enract the Ardollav died, and at the conference of 
the ollams in the Mur-n-ollav- of Dunsoberce they elected Maol 
Ardollav of Ullad. Peace and content obtains in Errion on 
every side for Aod walks in the path of his fathers. He takes 
Eocaid Ollav Fodla as his model; Ciombaot also loves justice 
and philosophy, he is excelled by none of the race. Aod con- 
venes the general assembly of Errion regularly in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, observing every practice accord- 
ing to its law. Now in the twelfth year of the reign of Aod, 
he went to the tents of Ciombaot on a visit to Ultonnmact, and 
Maca in his company, and he arrived at the tents of the chief- 
tains of Raboth, and proceeded thence to the waters of the Aaron 
through the lands of the Firgneath, and as he stood on the side 
of the ship in which he was to sail over the waters of Geintir, 
he extended his hand to Maca to assist her into the deck of the 
ship. But it chanced that his foot slipped from under him, and 
falling he struck his temple on the sharp verge of the ship, and 
a stream of blood spurted out, and Ardrig lay motionless, and 
the Firgneath and his retinue came about, and carried him to 
Ciombaot’s dwelling, and Maca was attending to him most zeal- 
ously, and the day after he came to Ciombaot’s palace in Ard- 
sceulact, he ‘expired. There his carn is constructed. Ullad and 
all Errion mourned and shed tears in great weeping after Aod. 


He ruled over Errion twelve years complete.

of Airgeadmor one year 824 to 323 B. C. (See Annals of the 
kingdom oí Ireland Vol. 1. Page 63. Age of world 4477. Under 
the name Ros Ditorba son of Dimuin.) 





Now the princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the peo- 
ple were assembled at the Bruiteine of Ullad, and they sat in 
session to elect a king in place of Aod. Girad the chieftain 
of Raboth arose saying: In truth there is nothing nor no. word 
forbidding the princes and nobles of Ullad from choosing any 
one they list from the royal line as king, yet it was not cus- 
tomary with our fathers to pass over the first-born son with- 
out definite cause, every son of Airgeadmor is dead, Badorn 
who succeeded his father is dead, and Aod who succeeded Ba- 
dorn is dead, no children survive Aod but a female infant. Ros 
the son of Dilmuin avoids the celebrations and festivities of men, 
yet he is full learned. It is not meet to say that he is not worthy 
to rule, because he is not clamoring and asking for the title? 
The name of Ciombaot is great and honored through Errion, 
he loves justice and truth so well, that he would consider the 
kingdom of Ullad too dear if purchased by a single thought 
against Ros! Ciombaot arose and said: I give my most gentle 
thanks to Girad chieftain of Raboth, what if Ros rules king in 
Ullad? An the chieftains showed their right hands unanimously. 
Now it transpired that Ros was not present on the Bruiteine, 
no one knew where he was, then Ciombaot arose saying: O 
princes and nobles come with me to Dunsoberce and we will 
celebrate the great feast while the trackers search for Ros? 
And it was so. Ciombaot wrote words which he entrusted into 
the hands of each tracer for Ros, saying: 

The princes and nobles of Ullad unanimously elected Ros 
king of Ullad, and Ciombaot likewise pledged that thou wouldst 
not go contrary to their love, Ciombaot will aid thee in as much 
as thou wilt desire. They discovered Ros walking alone on the 
banks of the waters of Foist in the land of Ardtan. They re- 
lated to him the case and he returned with them to Dunsoberce, 
and set out for the Bruiteine, when he heard the princes and 
the nobles saying aloud: Let Ros sit on the throne of the king 
of Ullad. He paled and blushed, and trembled alternately, as 





749 


he stood to accept the Eisaon and the royal robe his foot went 
from under him and little but he fell, he extended his hand to 
Ciombaot saying gently: 

lí Ciombaot will stand close to me hereafter I shall do bet- 
ter. When they returned to Dunsoberce the king sat among the 
princes and nobles at the feast, but appeared not to be at ease. 
The following morning the king said to Ciombaot: Be thou in 
Dunsoberce, and trouble not about me. With that he went 
away. In those days the swift curriers went forth through 
Errion summoning the kings, princes and nobles to Teacmor 
Tabarta, and Ciombaot requested the king of Ullad to accom- 
pany the princes and nobles of the land to sit in his place as 
was befitting in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. He 
proceeded according to the advice of Ciombaot to the general 
assembly, and the chieftain of Larne arose saying: What if 
Ros the son of Dilmuin son of Airgeadmor of the line of Er, 
king of Ullad, sit on the throne of Errion? Every member 
raised his right hand. But Ros did not go forth to Liafail, Magn 
king of Ultonnmact placed the Eisaon on his brow, and the 
chieftain of Larne spread the royal robe on his shoulders. Ros 
bore himself in all.things as became a king. The writings were 
read and the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest cele- 
brated on the field of Tabarta according to custom. When 
they had finished no one stood on Tabarta demanding justice. 
Ardrig with his retinue made a visit to Mur-n-ollav of 
Teacmor and held conferences with the ollams and students. 
Ardrig also said to Congaal a prince of Er: Remain in Teacmor 
in place of Ardrig. Do not store up any of the gold or sub- 
stance belonging to the office, anything that is not necessary, 
give without price to the poets and minstrels, and also to those 
who are strangers in the land. To those having plenty give 
not, and when you give if your ear hears thanks do not stop your 
hand but if you hear flatterly beyond what is just give not your 
gift. Ardrig returned with the princes and nobles of Ullad and 
his retinue until he came to the waters of the Eider. There he 
said to Ciombaot: Go to Dunsoberce and if I have anything to 
say that you know not I will speak. After that Ros went his 
way alone on foot to the eastward by the waters of the great 
sea. Now on the second year after his election as Ardrig it 


750 


transpired that a message came to Ciombaot saying: O sire 
Ros lieth on his couch of sickness in the land of Maginse, and 
Ciombaot set out quickly with the currier of the message, and 
he found Ardrig in a little cabin and the Gaal attending him. 
Ciombaot besought him to come to Dunsoberce, but he would 
not for he said: Even if I wished it is now impossible 1 am 
that weak, I am now on the point of death. O Ciombaot attend 
my words: Thou shalt be elected king over Ullad every tongue 
praises thee. For thy life place no confidence in a chieftain 
greedy of honors, nor in a Gaal greedy of food, if thou incline 
to a person so that he becomes familiar to thee and thou dis- 
cover that he is of little account, do not spread his shortcom- 
ing abroad, because he was once thy familiar. 

Thou art among the children of the land it is meet that thou 
shouldst receive assistance from them for they depend on thee. 
Behold O Ciombaot it is better and more certain for thee to 
place thy expectation in a thousand women than in one man, 
Man is treacherous full of falsehoods. Be kind to woman and 
thou wilt receive the kindness in return a hundred fold. The 
king grew sicker, and Ciombaot besought that the royal phy- 
sician would come, but he would not consent saying: I need 
him not, I am spent, my sickness is without cure. Ciombaot- 
remained by him attending night and day in every thing nec- 
essary, but he would not take them saying: In two days will 
come the new moon, then Ross will turn his life, Therefore—? 
Man ever covets still how little he can bear away? As long as 
I can converse with thee, I say: Divide and do with all my 
possessions as you think fit, but for the flocks and herds of 
the king give enough to the children of this land to-stock all 
their pastures, for they proved when they knew me but as a poor 
man, very kind to me. Concerning my carn let it be constructed 
on the banks of this stream and only as high as I stood when 
my helmet was on my head. I will not add Leave me O Ciom- 
baot, for I think you would not do so. The hand of friendship 
is as large and-as heavy as. the shield of the warrior, but to 
grasp tis as light as the feather from the wing of the wren! 
O Ciombaot fill they aspirations with the spirit of Eocaid’Ollav 
Fodla. As Ros spoke these things it transpired with the change 
of the moon he died. According to the command of the king,

iol 
Ciombaot convened the Gaal, and they buried him, and con- 
structed a carn over him as high as a brave warrior, and the 
matrons and maidens wept about his tomb. Ros is surnamed 
“Ros the diatribe” because he shunned the conversation and 
dwellings of men. Ciombaot returned to Dunsoberce.

of Airgeadmor thirteen years 323 to 310 B. ©. (See Annals of 
the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 68. Age of world 4484. 
Under the name: “Ciombaot the son of Fionntan.’’) 





Now after the death of Ros, the princes, chieftains, ollavs, 
and the tribunes of the Gaal assembled on the Bruiteine of Ullad. 
They elected Ciombaot son of Fionn son of Airgeadmor, king of 
Ullad. The swift curriers went out through Errion, saying: 
Let the general assembly of Errion convene in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta without delay, for the throne of Ardrig 
is vacant. When the general assembly of Errion sat, Ciombaot 
king of Ullad was elected Ardrig over Errion. He appointed 
Ruidruide son of Fearmor son of Airgeadmor viceroy in Ullad 
to sit in Dunsoberce, but went himself to Ardsceulact and dwelt 
there. And Maca likewise tarried there with Maca the daughter 
of Aod and Maca, and Ciombaot married the beautiful maiden. 
In the third year of Ciombaot’s reign king Magn came on a 
visit to his daughter, and died their, and an embassy was sent 
to Ceuct the firstborn of Magn saying: Magn has expired in 
Ardsceulact. Ceuct and the nobles and the commons of Ultonn- 
mact came to the tents af Ciombaot, and the body of Magn was 
buried close to the carn of Aod. Four great pillars of stone 
were placed upright, one at his. head, and one at his feet, and 
one, at either side, as a monumental rememberance for ever. 
In the fifth year of Ciombaot’s reign Maca, daughter of Magn, 
died and her carn was constructed between the carn of Aod 
and the tomb of Magn. Ciombaot did not dwell in Teacmor 
except while the general assembly of Errion was in session, and 
the celebration of the feast of Teacmor and the games of con- 
test on the field of Tabarta. For he left Blath a prince of Er 
to dwell in his place in the palace of the king in Teacmor. In 
those days Maca said to Ciombaot: O Ardrig will not Maca 


752 


the wife of Ciombaot, the daughter of Aod, the child of the 
daughter of Magn, have a castle and fortress as fine as Dunso- 
berce yea even as Teacmor? Ciombaot answered: By Baal O 
Maca daughter of many kings! It shall be anything you de- 
sire. They began to dig and clear away the foundation ditch 
down to the living rock in a circuit around all Ardsceulact. 
There were engineers and master craftsmen of all kinds from 
all Errion present to begin the work. And Ciombaot made a, 
contract and a written specification of every detail and orna- 
mentation pertaining to the inside of the King’s house with 
Erbaal the chief merchant of the Feine (Phoenicians). In the 
seventh year of the reign of Ardrig, Aongais king of Mumain 
died, when the assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine 
they elected’ Reactad son of Ardfear of Eunda some time Ardrig, 
as king over Mumain. In the same year Maol the Ardollav 
died, and when the ollavs held a conference they elected Meilige 
Ardollav of Ullad. Now the king’s house within the walls of 
Ardsceulact was seven years under construction, and in the sev- 
enth year it was finished, and Ciombaot and Maca entered, and 
dwelt there. A great feast was organized to celebrate the under- 
taking. When the princes and the chieftains, and the ollavs, 
and the tribunes of the people, and every champion who won a 
prize at Tabarta were seated at the tables of the banquet in the 
palace, and Maca seated at the side of Ciombaot, it was then 
Maca arose and said publicly O mighty nobles and freesons of 
Ullad let this house be henceforth called “Aodmagnmaca” (pro- 
nounced Emanmaca)! And every one present clapped their 
hands in applause, shouting Aod-Magn-Maca! It was thus 
Maca honored her father, Aod, her grandfather Magn, and her 
mother Maca. When Ciombaot had reigned eleven years Ard- 
rig, Eocaid King of Gaalen expired after a rule of eight and 
twenty years. When the assembly of Gaalen convened on the 
Bruiteine, they elected Utgoine his son king over Gaalen. Now 
it transpired that the walls of Ardsceulact and the fortifica- 
tions of Aodmagnmaca awakened the jealousy of the kings of 
Mumain and Gaalen. In the twelfth year of the reign of Ciom- 
baot the swift curriers went forth through Errion summoning 
the general assembly to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
in presence of Ardrig. The general assembly sat the first ses- 


Td: 

sion, and the words of the book of Chronicles of Gaalag and 
the writings of Eolus and Eocaid Ollav Fodla were read pub- 
licly according to usage, the assembly went out to celebrate the 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the field of Ta- 
barta. During these days Reactad and Utgoine and their par- 
tisans were industriously circulating these words: It is a pity 
that Teacmor Tabarta stands no longer, is it not to be seen on 
the heights of Aodmagnmaca? The pride of Er is growing? 
When the assembly sat the second session, Ciombaot did not 
consider the words worth his notice. The words of the book 
of Chronicles of Errion and of the tract of the laws were read 
publicly, and the heralds proclaimed: 

Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice 
answered. When the assembly adjourned Ardrig set out for 
Aodmagnmaca, and all the men of Ullad on Tabarta joined his 
retinue, and when they came to Aodmagnmaca Ardrig said: 
It is my wish that the writings now in keeping in Dunsoberce, 
be borne and placed on the tables here prepared to receive them? 
That the shields of the chieftains and the tribunes be hung in 
the hall of Aodmagnmaca after the manner which they hang in 
the high-chamber of Teacmor? And it was so. Ciombaot said: 
It is my wish to sit as king in this hall on the same day that 
the monolith was raised on Magmortiomna as a memorial be- 
tween the Gaal Sciot Iber and the Danaan forever! Even on 
the second day after the coming of Baal into the second chamber 
of his house Sgith (i. e. on the second day of the second week 
of June). 

For this reason let the princes, chieftains, ollavs, tribunes, 
and the judges and as many as please of the Gaal be present 
with Ciombaot in Dunsoberce, when Baal shall enter the last 
chamber of his holy fire (May). Likewise let the poets, min- 
strels, and maidens, in as large numbers as possible be assembled 
in Dunsoberce, in order that the writings may be carried hither 
with vast preparation and solemnity. On the appointed day 
Ciombaot was in Dunsoberce and all Ullad standing round about 
him. The heralds proclaimed: Let there be no wink of sleep 
in the eyes of anyone tomorrow on the rising of Baal. The fol- 
lowing morning every prince of Er, even Blath, came from Teac- 
mor, and every chieftain, and every ollam, and tribune of the 


154 


people, and the veteran comlanns of the Gaal stood armed on 
the plain under Dunsoberce watching the rising of Baal; and 
three chariots were at the portal of the king’s palace, and as the 
first gleam fell from the eye of Baal, the tract of the laws of 
Ullad, and the words of the practice of Tanasteac were loaded 
into the first chariot, and Foran the chief-judge of Dunsoberce 
was sitting in it, and he proceeded with the Gaal on this side 
to the plain. The second chariot received the writings of Eolus 
and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag, and Sead the Ardollam 
of Dunsoberce was seated in it, and it proceeded to the plain. 
In the third chariot was Meileige the Ardollam of Ullad, and in 
his care the book of Chronicles of Errion, and the writings of 
' Eocaid Ollav Fodla, and it proceeded likewise to the plain. 


Ciombaot and the princes, and nobles, were on horseback. Maca> 


sat in a six-horse chariot resplendent with gold and magnificent 
with chased workmanship, she was arrayed in the mode and 
cloak of Errion but wore the hat of Ultonnmact on her head. 
When Baal manifested himself, the king, princes, and nobles 
drew their swords and raised them on high, and the Gaal bowed 
their heads and struck their shields, the poets awakened the 
tone of the song and the bards the harpstings, and the maidens 


sung the chorus of the music and refrain, and the Corrybantes_ 


danced to the tune of the song and the beating of the shields. 
The sound of the multitude was ascendent! They shouted: 
May Baal prosper the work of the king! It was then the heralds 
proclaimed: Attention—Guard—March forward— Aodmagnma- 
ca! This was the processional order: A third of the princes 
and nobles at the head of the procession with the chariot of 
Foran containing the tract of the law, after that chariot came 
the judges of Ullad then the second third of the princes and 
nobles with the chariot of Sead containing the Chronicles of 
~Gaalag and the writings of Eolus the ollavs of Ullad followed 
the chariot, and after the ollavs came Meileige the Ardollav 
with the Chronicles of Errion and the writings of Eocaid Ollav 
Fodla, the last third of the princes and nobles marched on either 
' side of Ciombaot and Maca, the army followed the king: Twenty 
comlanns of the veteran Gaal, (archers and slingers and light 
armed skirmishers) cavalry thirty thousand and odd. On the 
‘ninth day they arrived at Aodmagnmaca. The king set forth a 





755 


great feast not only for the princes and nobles but for all the 
multitude. They cast the crancuir (dice) to indicate to each 
chieftain where he should hang his shield. Now on the day 
that Baal entered the second chamber of his house Sgith (June), 
the king, princes, chieftains, ollams, tribunes of the people, and 
the judges entered the hall of Aodmagnmaca, and each took his 
proper place. Ciombaot rising from the chair of the king of 
Ullad said: O thrice gentle welcome princes and freesons of 
Ullad to the hall of Aodmagnmaca! Six hundred ninety six 
years have elapsed since the day the covenant of peace between 
the Gaal Scioth Iber and the Danaan, a mighty monolith as a 
monument of commemoration was erected on Magmortiomna, 
and in like manner it was written on the book of Chronicles of 
Errion i. e. in Seancus na Gaal. From that day until today no 
son of Er has broken the word pledged by his race, therefore 
peace and content has dwelt in Ullad, often the friendship of 
Ullad and Ultonnmact has guarded and preserved the peace 
and prosperity of Errion. Aod married Maca daughter of Magn 
of the line of Ultonnmact, and Maca daughter of Aod and Maca 
is our helpmeet in joy and sorrow, therefore the covenant be- 
tween Ullad and Ultonnmact will be stronger in the future. 
Unto this place we have borne the tract of the law of Errion, 
the writings of Eocaid Ollav Fodla, the story of Gaalag and 
the book of the Chronicles of Errion, what if they be placed on 
the tables in the centre of the hall? And it was so. The king 
said again: What if the assembly of Ullad for the future con- 
vene here? Each member raised the right hand. After that 
the writings were read, and they were good yea very good to 
hear. When the assembly had finished the sessions, the heralds 
proclaimed without: 

Stands any one on Aodmagnmaca demanding justice? But 
no voice responded. After a celebration of games for nine days 
on the campus of Aodmagnmaca they dispersed each to his 
own land. Before the second moon had run its course, it tran- 
spired that Ciombaot fell ill even unto the condition of death, 
and before Baal had run through half of Cruinnugad (Septem- 
ber) he expired. Ciombaot reigned thirteen years, they buried 
him and his carn was constructed near the carn of Aod. Ciom- 
-baot was a wise and powerful king, he held each in his own 


756 


proper place, none of the race excelled him. There were no 
appeals to the law while Ciombaot reigned it slept inviolate 
under the care of the children of the land. There was sincere 
lamentation and great mourning through all Ullad and Ultonn- 
mact after Ciombaot.

After the death of Ciombaot when the assembly of Ullad 
met on the Bruiteine of Ullad, they elected Eocaid son of Fear- 
mor son of Airgeadmor, king over Ullad Maca Ciombaot’s queen 
said to him: Art thou a candidate for the throne of Errion? 
Eocaid answered: It is not my wish I even did not desire 
to sit on the throne of Ullad, for Eocaid was broken with mel- 
ancholy, and traces of care were ever on his pale brow. When 
Maca received Eocaid’s answer she hastened to Teacmor and 
dwelt in the palace of the king. After a quarter when she had 
duly accomodated matters she sent forth the swift curriers 
through Errion saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ol- 
lavs and tribunes of the people, convene without delay in the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect an Ardrig, for the 
throne of Errion is vacant. Now on the fourth division of the 
month, the general assembly sat in session, and the vestibule 
from the king’s palace to the high-chamber was open, and Maca 
entered and stood close to the throne, and after a pause she i 
said: According to the ancient practices of Tanasteac it is said: 
Let not Errion be a quarter without an Ardrig! Ciombaot is 
dead now a quarter and five moons, and I have heard of no 
Ardrig? It is true Maca is a woman but it is also true that 
Maca is daughter of Aod son of Er! And daughter of Maca 
Nimagn of the race of many kings! Maca queen of Ciombaot! 
And on account of the diffidence of the men of Errion to possess 
the throne Maca will occupy it. Let the heralds proclaim: The 
throne of Errion is vacant! Now scarcely had the heralds an- 
nounced: The throne is vacant when Aongais the prince of 
Ib-Lugad said: What if Maca sit upon the throne? Eocaid

757 
the king of Ullad arose and left his place, and proceeded alone 
to the Mur-n-ollam of Teacmor. The assembly maintained an 
omnious silence. 

But Aongais advanced to Maca and placed the Eisaon on her 
brow, and Lore a prince of Mumain arose hurriedly and spread 
the royal robe on Maca’s shoulders,and the two princesconducted 
her to the throne: And Maca said: My grateful thanks to 
you O kings, princes, and freesons of Errion, you are the bloom 
and flower of dignity, peace will obtain in Errion under the 
reign of Maca. Then the assembly adjourned to celebrate the 
great feast of Teacmor, and the games on the field of Tabarta. 
To the plains about Tabarta there came numbers from every 
Tanasteac of Errion and the Gall Sciot, and the children of 
Feine (Phoenicians) until there were thousands without num- 
ber. Maca in her munificence prolonged the games for thrice 
nine days. When the assembly sat the second session, the 
writings were read according to custom, and Maca said: Let 
the roll of the kings be read publicly. When the Ardollav read 
the name of Ciombaot he finished. Maca inquired: Has it not 
been the usage from the days of Eocaid Ollave Fodla to in- 
scribe the name of Ardrig directly that he is elected? The Ar- 
dollav replied: Yes, it has been the custom. Then Maca said: 
Wherefore has not the name of Maca been written after that 
of Ciombaot? But no one answered. So Maca descended from 
the throne, and unfolding the roll, she spread it before her, and 
wrote her name, and returning to the throne she stood before 
it saying: Will not the name of Maca be on the roll of kings 
after the name of Ciombaot? 

And clapping their hands the princes, and nobles of Mumain 
said: Be assured thy name shall remain therein! And the 
eyes of Maca spoke her thanks and gratitude to the king, princes, 
and nobles <f Mumain. When the heralds proclaimed: Stands 
there any one on Tabarta demanding justice? No voice re- 
plied. Now when the general assembly had finished in the 
usual manner, Maca prepared a banquet in Teacmor to honor 
the king, princes, and nobles, of Mumain, and the princes, and 
nobles, of Ullad and Ceuct, king of Ultonnmact and the nobles 
of the Danaan received invitations. But indeed Utgoine king 
of Gaalen nor any member from Gaalen received no invitation. 


758 


Gaalen went away moodily from Tabarta. Maca celebrated 
her reception and banquet nine days. Sweet was the music 
of the harps of Mumain and beautiful the stories of ancient 
times sung by bards. Maca visited frequently the Mur-n-ollav 
of Teacmor and invited the ollavs and their youths to come to 
Teacmor where she and her family dwelt. What if the ancient 
practice of Tanasteac forbids a woman to occupy the throne 
of Errion, yet truly no sorrow came to Errion while Maca sat 
on the throne, for her ear was always attentive to the voice 
of the unfortunate and her heart open to assist the needy. After 
Maca had occupied the throne one year, one moon, and one 
day, she expired, and her body was borne to Aodmagnmaca, 
and interred close by Ciombaot, there they constructed her 
cairn. The children of the land mourned Maca. 





X. Book. II. Chapter. Reign of Reactad nine years 309 to 
300 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 
74. Age of world 4547. Under the name “Reactad Rigdearg.”) 





After the death of Maca the swift curriers went forth through 
Errion summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and the 
tribunes of the people to convene at Tabarta. When the general 
assembly met in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, accord- 
ing to usage the Ardollam said: The throne of Ardrig is vacant. 
Murcad the chieftain of Almuin arose and said: What if Ut- 
goine king of Gaalen sit Ardrig? Bearda the chieftain of Ardtan 
also arose saying: What if the title of Ardrig be given to Reac- 
tad king of Mumain? None but the princes and nobles of Gaalen 
raised their right hands for Utgoine while all the assembly ex- 
cepting Gaalen raised their hands for Reactad. So Reactad was 
elected Ardrig over Errion, for certainly both Ullad and UI- 
tonnmact remembered the gallant courtesy Mumain displayed 
toward Maca. But many were the devious ways by which Ut- 
goine sought to humble Reactad, but the fear in which he stood 
of Ullad restrained his ambition so peace obtained in Errion. 
Now in the second year of the reign of Ardrig it transpired while 
the general assembly was in session in the high-chamber of 
Teacmor Tabarta, that Utgoine arose in his place in the high- 
chamber saying: Utgoine the king of Gaalen would inquire 














ETER ÚBE An ee ee A ee ee 


ee ee ee — 


759 
from the Ardrig of Errion: Has Ultonnmact paid her imperial 
tribute? Reactad replied: If it please thee O Utgoine Ardrig 
would say: The question pertaineth not to thee whether Ardrig 
takes or remits the tribute and taxes. His is the power to do 
this as he lists without consulting the king of Gaalen. If Ut- 
goine feels that he has reason for complaint he should answer to 
the heralds when they proclaim: Stands any one on Tabarta 
demanding justice? And Utgoine had to bear his own discom- 
fiture. According to practice they celebrated the feast of Teac- 
mor and the games of contest on the field of Tabarta. In the 
sixth year of the reign of Reactad it transpired that Utgoine 
sent an embassy to Eocaid in Aodmagnmaca with letters say- 
ing: O most noble ruler if Ultonnmact be suffered to run free 
any further without the customary imperial tax, the condition 
will degenerate into a practice, and then Ardrig will be without 
sufficient revenue to properly support the dignity of his title? 
Let Ullad gently examine into the new entente growing so 
closely between Iber and Ultonnmact for I think it will bear 
fruit distasteful to the line of Er. Reactad believes himself the 
only king in the realm of Errion! Eocaid king of Ullad wrote 
these words and returned them by the same embassy: Mayest 
thou prosper O Utgoine, Ullad can take no exception to the love 
manifested between Iber and Ultonnmact. The fealty of the 
Danaan was sweet to the children of Er! they do not fear its 
change at the harvest. Now rumor ran That Utgoine led the 
Gaal as in the chase, and how the ordered comlanns march over 
hill and valley under command of the falann-commanders (cin- 
comlann). The enmity of Utgoine against Ardrig is manifest. 
But Reactad abode in Mumain safe amidst the love of the chil- 
dren of the land, for indeed Reactad was munificent and princely, 
he never oppressed any man into bondage. In the ninth year 
of his reign, Reactad prepared his progress to Teacmor, and a 
splendid retinue of princes, nobles, minstrels and poets accom- 
panied him, for he said: We will pass the time of our absence 
from Mumain, by sweet music, songs, and interesting stories. 


When Utgoine heard that Reactad set forth from Mumain, and 
‘dwelt in Teacmor without an army, immediately he massed the 


comlanns of Gaalen and made a sudden descent on Teacmor. 


And lo! what time the retinue were dancing and disporting 


760 


themselves on Tabarta, they beheld the army rapidly marching, 
on telling Reactad he said: Let the heralds summon our war- 
riors, together, for yonder undoubtedly is Utgoine, Mumain 
mustered a small but very brave column, and marched for- 
ward, and Reactad commanded the heralds: Proclaim in the 
hearing of Utgoine: What is the need of so many dogs where is 
the quarry? Is Utgoine king of Gaalen present? Let him show 
his face to Reactad! But Utgoine came not forth, a shameful | 
thing, which happened not often even among the line of Iolar! 
Now the army of Gaalen shaped itself like a bow surrounding 
the small column of Mumain, and though the warriors of Mu- 
main fought fearlessly, it was unavailing so few their numbers, 
still great was the destruction they carved out before they went 
under, Reactad fell, few indeed of his retinue escaped the edge 
of the sword. When there was no longer any danger, Utgoine 
came out to the head of his army, and led the van to Teacmor 
where he entered into the house of the king.

Now the swift riders went forth through Errion, saying: 
Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the 
people, convene in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta with- 
out delay, for the throne of Ardrig is vacant. At this same junc- 
ture when the assembly of Mumain met on the Bruiteine they 
elected Aongais, son of Reactad, king over Mumain in place of 
his father. Now Aongais, king of Mumain, set out for the capi- 
tal of Eocaid, king of Ullad, and said: O bitter the pity that 
Eocaid would not rise from the sadness perched on him, that 
he might sit on the throne of Errion? Eocaid replied: No I 
shall remain in Aodmagnmaca, I would not journey to Teacmor 
at all but for the sake of the tract of the laws of Errion. There- 
fore said Aongais, the treacherous Utgoine will occupy the 
throne of Errion? Eocaid replied: Certainly he will unless 
Aongais can hinder him. Now it was impossible for Oongais 
to encompass this design on account of the number of princes 


who were slain with Reactad. 


“61 


When the general assembly convened in the first session 
they elected Utgoine, son of Eocaid, king of Gaalen, Ardrig 
over Errion. Utgoine went forth with the princes and nobles 
oí Gaalen to Liafail, the Ardcromfear placed the Eisaon on his 
brow, and Morda, chieftain of Laois, laid the royal robe on 
his shoulders, on the return of Ardrig the assembly adjourned 
to celebrate the feast of Teacmor, and the games of contest 
on the field of Tabarta; but in truth Aongais nor any from 
Mumain sat at the board at Utgoine’s banquet, they remained 
four days in their tents on Tabarta then they went home to 
Mumain. The same time Eocaid said to Cas, a prince of Er: 
Well O Cas you and the princes and nobles of Ullad fulfill the 
practice of the feast, I will remain in Mur-n-ollav for the reading 
of the writings, and he gave the same advice to Ceuct, king 
of Ultonnmact and the nobles of the Danaan. After the nine 
days the general assembly sat the second session, and Utgojne 
arose saying: Fellow rulers Aongais king of Mumain and his 
nobles have gone to Mumain, Eocaid king of Ullad has closeted 
himself within the Mur-n-ollav of Teacmor, it is likely he con- 
siders the days long until he returns to Ullad? For this reason 
what if the writings be read? And they were read according 
to practice, and the assembly finished. On the third day Eocaid 
and all Ullad, and Ceuct and all Ultonnmact went home to 
their own kingdoms. Now what time there were none present 
on Tabarta but the people of Gaalen, the portals of the high- 
chamber were opened, and each chief took his seat, and Morda 
the chieftain of Laos arose and said: O Ardrig, and free sons 
of Gaalen by Baal the king and nobles of Mumain esteem Errion 
only so long as a son of the line of Iber occupies the throne? 
Did not Reactad dwell in Mumain leaving Teacmor lonely? 
Regarding the line of Er there exists no doubt but Ullad is 
their care. Did they not found that Aodmagnmaca to surpass 
this Teacmor? The king of Ullad dwells in Aodmagnmaca. 
Thus it transpires fortunately that the care of Errion devolves 
on the children of the first Ermion. Here I repeat to you the 
words of Eocaid Ollav Fodla from the primitive practice of 
Tanasteac: Let him who sits on the throne of Errion for the 
future, be called, not Ermion, but Ardrig. In those days our 
fathers submitted to him. Eocaid had reason to change the 


762 


title for he thought to obtain the throne of Errion forever for 
the children of Er. | 

Is not he who rules Ermion? By virtue of this what if 
for the future the king of Errion be styled Ermion? The crowd 
answered: Yea, so be it, so be it. And they extended their 
right hands to Utgoine calling him Ermion! It chanced while 
Eocaid king of Ullad was on his way direct to Aodmagnmaca, 
swift riders came to meet him on the road with a message say- 
ing: O king a band has come to the waters of the Fec=Baal 
(Foyle) and stand yet on the land. On account of this news, 
Eocaid king of Ullad commanded each chieftain: Go as quickly 
as possible to your own Tanasteac, gather your comlanns and 
join the king at the tents of Raboth. They did so zealously. 
The king and the army of Ullad marched to the Feobaal, and 
they beheld the strangers near their fleet which rode at anchor 
on the waves. The men were large-boned, barbaric, and coarse- 
featured, they had swords hanging at their sides with broad 
shields and long spears (ullann) in their hands, but they wore 
neither mail nor the brazen helmet as do the common Gaal 
(soldier) of Ullad. Nevertheless the crew seemed quite military. 
When he came up to them Eocaid king of Ullad inquired: 
“Whence they came, and the purpose of their coming? But they 
understood not the conversation of the questioner, yet they 
comprehended a word now and again. After some time this 
much we gleaned from them: They came from under the fin- 
gers of Baal (from the east). They had neither old man, youth, 
nor woman, with them. Each a chosen warrior. They ran 
short of food and drink, they call themselves: Men of Feothar. 
Cruithon was their chieftain. Eocaid ordered them sufficient 
stores and drink. There were twenty chiefs under Cruithon and 
under each chief five hundred men. Their entire number made 
ten comlanns of brave warriors. Curriers were also sent to 
the land of the Danaan to prove whether they had any know- 
ledge of the tongue of the strangers. But indeed they compre- 
hended not even a word. When they had made a stay of eighteen 
days in the kingdom, and had absorbed an abundance of food 
“and drink, then the king showed them that he would permit 
them to settle and make their home in the land of Ullad. But 
they made answer with words and signs that they thought the 





“63 


land was already sufficiently filled with people. Eocaid also 
provisioned their fleet, and aíter nine days more they hoisted 
sail and sailed eastwards, but prior to their departure Eocaid 
and the princes gave them the hand oí íriendship. 

Now at this juncture a whisper and a rumor came to Utgoine 
oí the event that took place in Ullad, without delay de dis- 
patched to Aodmagnmaca saying: Whereíore hath the king of 
Ullad undertaken the work and responsibility of questions per- 
taining to Ermion? Who were those men he embraced and 
dismissed with stores and vast gifts? Eocaid replied: O Ut- 
goine they were strangers exhausted, half dead with hunger, 
they came from the waters of the deep, the men of Ullad spread 
food and board for them; they came and departed in peace, 
there was no occasion to disturb Errion for this cause. For 
O Utgoine the children of Ullad know how to extend the gentle 
welcome of hospitality to the arriving guest, and to guard their 
native kingdom without your advice Go thy way. Now 
the season for the general assembly was present, and the swift 
curriers were sent through Errion summoning the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people, to Tabarta. 


» 





. As Eocaid king of Ullad prepared to set out to the assembly, 
word came that the chief and nine nobles of the Foetar were 
in the tents of the chieftain of Ardtan. The cause of their com- 
ing was: Permission to speak to the king of Ullad. Eocaid 
immediately wrote letters and dispatched them by the hand of 
the same messenger, saying: O Aod come to me and bring 
with thee the chief and the nine nobles of Feotar, hence Aod 
and the chief and nobles of Feotar came to Aodmagnmaca, and 
tarried there until Eocaid was ready to proceed to Tabarta and 
they accompanied him, and dwelt in the pavililions of the king 
of Ullad on Tabarta. As soon as the general assembly sat in 
session Eocaid king of Ullad arose saying: O fellow rulers and 
free sons of Errion when the assembly sits the second session 
in the high-chamber, Eocaid king of Uliad has words of in- 
terest for the ears of the assembly. They went forth to cele- 
brate the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the 
field of Tabarta. When the ninth day had passed the assembly 
sat the second session, and Eocaid king of Ullad arose saying: 
O fellow rulers there dwell now in the tents of Ullad on Ta- 


(64 


barta, the chief and nine nobles of the Gaal of Feothar, who 
entered Ullad last year through the Waters of the Foebaal 
(Foyle). From the east, of Ullad where they dwell they have 
come back for before going the children of Ullad gave them 
the hand of friendship and the pledge of a covenant. 


This is the reason of their arrival a second time: They 
ask the confirmation of the treaty, and maidens of our land in 
marriage. What signifieth if they understand not our every 
word, we have read the love of their hearts in their eyes! What 
if the chiefs enter the high-chamber to see our mode of pro- 
cedure and our conversation? And it was so, the chiefs of Feo- 
thar sat among the princes of Ullad, and the general assembly 
began its conference. The assembly reached this conclusion: 
That it would be well to give such maidens as were willing to 
the chiefs and the Gaal. When they completed that session the 
great portals of the high-chamber were-closed, while they were 
celebrating again the feast of Teacmor-and the games on the 
field of Tabarta, messengers were dispatched to every townsland 
of chiefs promising a daughter or a maiden of his tribe to the 
nobles or Gaal of Feothar. Women and maidens came from 
every quarter of Errion to the tents of their chiefs on Tabarta 
Eocaid and Utgoine and Aongais made a covenant of peace 
among themselves, and the bards and poets of Mumain and 
the corrybantes of Gaalen celebrated a Feis-ceoil on Tabarta, 
hut there appeared no pleasure to the Feothar in the music 
nor in the tune of the choral song. Now this celebration was 
on Tabarta for a whole quarter, now during all that time the 
strangers were under instructions a part of each day in the 
Mur-n-ollam of Teacmor, by virtue of this when the high- 
chamber was opened for the next session, the men of Feothar 
were sufficiently instructed in the Gaelic tongue to understand 
the words and to make the covenant, Utgoine Ermion arose 
and said: 

O fellow-rulers, high-princes, and free sons of Errion and 
you O friendly children from Feothar, this is our resolve to 
the question of your demand: If the maidens of Errion go to 
the land of Cruiten and to the islands round about (i. e. to 
Gaaldunaith) and if they remain there as the wives of your 
chieftains and Gaal of that land, will the chiefs make a covenant

with us: That the sons born of our daughters will have the 
inheritance and the title of king in the future for ever? The 
chiefs of Feothar stood and said we will make that covenant 
certainly! They willingly and quickly made the covenant. 
Then having read the writings and the heralds proclaiming: 
Stands any man on Tabarta demanding justice, the general as- 
sembly adjourned and the portals of the high-chamber were 
closed. It was at this juncture that the men of Feothar took 
sods of earth which they had carried from the land of Cruiten, 
and spreail it in a circle on the top of Tabarta, and they. stood 
on it with their spears in their left hands piercing the soil, and 
elevating their right hands they swore they would observe the 
covenant forever! For this reason it transpires that the prac- 
tice of count and generation of the king it rated from the side 
of the line of woman among the Gaal of Feothar, the words 
of the covenant were written on the book of Chronicles of Er- 
rion on the fourth year of the reign of Utgoine Ermion (i. e. 
according. to our reckoning 296 B. C.). And before they de- 
parted from Tabarta they married each his helpmate thus: The 
chief of the Feothar took Aine, daughter oí the chieftain of 
Coriat, and the nine nobles as follows in order: 


Lara, daughter of the chieftain of Oirmion, 

Eitead, daughter of the chieftain of Deas, 

Miana, daughter of the chieftain of Ardtan, 
Tacara, daughter of the chieftain of Aodmag, 

Una, daughter of the chieftain of Maginse, 
Sotal, daughter of the chieftain of Larne, 

Etne, daughter of the chieftain of Cumar, 

Bana, daughter of the chieftain of Magglein, and 
Mamna, daughter of the chieftain of Almuin. 


These were the princesses who were the mothers and, the 
true source of the line begotten of the Gaal Sciot Iber in the 
land of the Feothar (i. e. in Caledonia). And nine times nine 
maidens of the common Gaal went as attendants with each 
princess. The whole party set out for the land of Ardtan, and a 
great multitude accompanied them. The chieftain of Ardtan 
made a vow with this pledged word to the chiefs of the Feothar: 
If the children of Cruiten would cherish the maidens of Errion 


766 


with esteem and great dignity that: The land of Errion would 
be open for future marriages with Cruiten. Under full sail 
they sailed directly away from Errion. but looked fondly back 
at her. All Errion is under peace and content! Indeed though 
Eocaid lives alone within Aodmagnmaca, nevertheless he is 
full learned, he calls together the assembly of Ullad seasonably 
on the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca, he also attended faultlessly 
every general assembly of Teacmor, now in the sixth year of 
his rule when the assembly of Ullad was convened, Eocaid arose 
and said: It appeareth desirable to me that a Mur-n-ollav be 
constructed here near to Aodmagnmaca. In order that there 
may be substance and subsistence sufficient for both the ollavs 
and the youths, if it be the pleasure of the princes and the 
nobles of Ullad in hearing, what if they receive in perpetuity 
a division from Ardsceulact? Each member raised his right 
hand answering: Aye, be it so. After two years the Mur-n- 
ollam was founded and completed, and the ollavs came into it. 
In the eighteenth year of the rule of Eocaid, Meileige the Ardol- 
lam of Ullad expired, and the ollavs of Ullad held a conference 
in the Mur-n-ollav of Aodmagnmaca, and they elected Dod 
Ardollav. It transpired as I sat in the presence of the king 
and conversed with him about the royal progress through Ullad 
and to all the Mur-n-ollavs, melancholy came on the spirit of 
the king, he said to me: Alas, O Dod I had contemplated visit- 
ing all the Mur-n-ollavs before that I should die, but Ah me! 
it is impossible for my spirit is extinguished within me. For 
this reason Eocaid remained at Aodmagnmaca but Dod by the 
king’s order proceeded to carry out the visitation, when he re- 
turned to Aodmagnmaca, the king was so weak and decayed 
that he died. Eocaid ruled twenty years complete. They in- 
terred him and constructed his carn in Cluaneac nigh the carn 
of Airgeadmor, by the kings own wish. And there was bitter 
grief and great weeping. 

When the assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine, 
they elected Cas the son of Ciombaot and Maca, king over Ullad. 
Cas was surnamed “Cas Ceanmuinmagn” (i. e. Cas a ruler from 
the people of Magn). Now after the death of Eocaid, Utgoine 
began to manifest his schemes; for a whisper softly crept about: 
That Utgoine desired the general assembly of Errion to convene

not on Tabarta but on the Bruiteine of Gaalen on Magnas. Now 
it chanced that Cas was young and given to sport and the chase, 
and Aongais king of Mumain married Melisa daughter of the 
Ermion, by virtue of that marriage alliance he did as Utgoine 
suggested. In these days it transpired that Cas was thrown 
from his charger in Iargaal where he went stag-hunting and he 
expired in that land. When the assembly of Ullad sat in ses- 
sion on the Bruiteine, they elected Concobar brother of Cas, 
king over Ullad. Indeed though Concobar was young yet the 
fame of his ability had spread over all Errion, for that reason 
Utgoine became quiescent. In the thirteenth year of the reign 
of Utgoine the swift curriers were dispatched through Errion 
with letters saying: Let the general assembly of Errion con- 
vene on the Bruiteine of Gaalen in presence of Ermion Utgoine. 
When the assembly convened Utgoine pitched his pavilion, 
and the other tents were around about and the kings, princes, 
chieftains, and tribunes of the people entered the pavilion. Then 
the chieftain of Almuin arose saying: Murcad has words per- 
tinent to the general assembly concerning Ermion. All Ullad 
was as a flight of wild birds wheeling and circling on every 
side. Ermion arose and spoke relative to Errion but received 
little attention. Then arose Concobar king of Ullad and said: 
Permit me to say: I see not here on this Bruiteine of Gaalen, 
the throne, the Eisaon, nor the royal robe of the king? I hear 
that Liafail is near by, but the tables of Teacmor, the tract of 
the laws and the book of Chronicles of Errion are forgotten. 
Certainly I am in wonderment. Indeed Concobar will listen 
to no word spoken concerning Errion, until the writings ac- 
cording to ancient practice are laid on their tables in his pres- 
ence! Has the virtue and dignity of the law fallen as well as 
the title Ardrig? Now Concobar the king will return to Ullad 
and will there remain until the writings are unfolded according 
to the practice of Tanasteac in the presence of the general as- 
sembly! Concobar went forth and was followed by all Ullad 


and Ultonnmact and the ollavs and judges of Ullad, and they 


marched away to Aodmagnmaca. After their departure Utgoine 
convened Gaalen and Mumain, and Murcad the chieftain of 
Almuin arose and said: What if one of the line of the first 
Ermion reign Ermion always? And it was so carried. 


768 

As soon as Concobar heard the things which transpired he 
said: If the children of the race convene seasonably, and if 
the land is held in peace and contentment, it matters little who 
sits on the throne nor by what title he shall be addressed? 

After a short time Concobar king of Ullad wrote letters and 
dispatched them by the hand of a trusted messenger to Utgoine 
saying: Truly gentle O king at the first opportunity coming 
let the writings be unfolded on their tables in the presence of 
the general assembly, if this practice be not safeguarded, be thou 
ready to tell the cause. Now Utgoine was crafty for Gaalen 
and Mumain were one in every plot, the princes and nobles of 
each kingdom were making marriage alliance and so in every 
way they were closely allied, therefore in the seventh year of 
the reign of Utgoine he dispatched the swift curriers through 
Errion saying: Let the general assembly of Errion convene on 
Magnas without delay in presence of Ermion, And the writings 
will be on hand and every practice of Tanasteac shall obtain. 
When the assembly came to session on Magnas, Ermion arose 
and said: O fellow rulers the lands of Ermion belonged at 
first to Gaalen, in the days of Eocaid of the line of Er, Don pre- 
sented them to Ardrig. From that day until this Ardrig had 
no other crown-lands, and I affirm they are not even half ade- 
quate, of what account is the tribute and imperial taxes assessed 
to Ultonnmact? When Ermion will take possession of those 
lands he is necessarily taking from Gaalen, for this reason what 
if every kingdom of Errion for the future pay imperial taxes to 
Ermion? Concobar king of Ullad arose and said: When Er- 
mion shall have no other source of revenue let it be as Utgoine 
says. Ermion replied: I should rather be without any revenue 
than one levied under a changable practice. As Concobar pro- 
ceeded with his address the partisans of Gaalen and Mumain 
raised acabaal, therefore Concobar discontinued, and remained 
silent. Thus the question of Utgoine was carried. This was 
the nature of that imperial tax, Ermion will take one from every 
herd of three hundred head of cattle every third year, i. e. on the 
year of the assembly of the general assembly of Errion,or if 
the person paying the tax choose, he may pay the value in cur- 
rent silver as a freeing price for the animal, and the custom 
became a practice of Tanasteac from that forth. What time Ut-

goine had reigned nineteen years he sent Laogaire his son, and 
a numerous retinue of nobles and tribunes of the Gaal on a 
tour to the land of Cruiten i. e. Gaalduniat, and Laogaire mar- 
ried Aine the daughter of the chieftain by that Aine the maiden 
who came from Coriat. At this time the general assembly con- 
vened at Magnas, and Ermion arose and said: O fellow rulers 
it is a disheartening story, but the king of Ullad is the first to 
forbid the herdsmen of Ermion to collect the imperial tax of 
the land. I conceive that the voice of Concobar would be loud 
in protest against any person so treating himself? Concobar 
arose in answer: This tax is levied as a defrayal for the ex- 
penses of the great feast and the games of contest, celebrated 
when the general assembly convenes, now let Ermion name 
the time and the just pro rata will be driven here in season. 
For it is in my opinion a dangerous precedent to permit the 
taxmen of Gaalen to enter the kingdom of Ullad to take tax, 
perchance after a while they would come not with the staff of 
the herdsman, but with an army to despoil the land and drive 
off a booty. The tribunes of the Gaal will without doubt pay 
their imperial tax to the reigning Ermion. When Ermion heard 
this he was silent. Utgoine appointed twelve men as questors 
in Mumain and Gaalen to receive the taxes, and placed his first 
born son Gialcad, as chief questor over all of them. In the twenty- 
second year of the reign of Utgoine, Aongais king of Mumain, 
died, when the assembly of Mumain gathered on the Bruiteine, 
they elected Noid the brother of Aongais as king over Mumain. 
In the twelfth year of the rule of Concobar in Ullad, Dod the 
Ardollav died. When the ollavs convened in conference they 
elected Leigbar Ardollav. 

Concobar walks in the ways of his race, as good and wise 
as any of them. In the thirteenth year of the rule of Concobar 
in Ullad, the chietains of Ardtan, Maginse, and Larne sailed 
away over the sea to the land of the Cruitni, i. e. to Gaalduniat 
(Caledonia) they made court and sojourned they and their re- 
tinues with their kindred. They made a safe and joyful voyage. 
Every one was pleased. Now Roigne the son of Ermion was 
one of the accompanying staff. On their return Roigne made 
his court to Concobar at Aodmagnmaca, and Concobar loved 
Roigne, for Roigne was more truly wise than any of the race 


0 


of Iolar excepting Eterial alone. He is a proficient master of 
the poems of the bards, and of Music. He copied for himself 
the tracts of the law of each of the kingdoms of Errion and the 
practice of Tanistry, as well as the manners and customs of the 
Danaans, yea even of the Firgneath. He revised many of the 
rules of Tanistry. In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Ut- 
goine the general assembly of Errion sat on the Bruiteine of 
Magnas, and Utgoine arose and said: O fellow rulers and free-. 
children of Errion, since the Gaal multiplies in exceeding great 
numbers, and the Gaal of Feothar are before us, it is my opinion 
' that the general assembly should sit every third year, if nothing 
else be done the Gaal Scioth Iber which increases beyond num- 
bering like the sands: that whiten the sea shore, can hear the 
sound of each others’ voice? It pleased the assembly and it 
was so decreed. 


In those days it came to pass exactly as Concobar had some- 
time before foreseen, for Gialcad entered Mumain after over- 
running Gaalen, and rushed the cattle from the meadows, and 
pastures as the hunters do the stags in the chase, or as the 
warriors bear away a spoil and tribute in war. When complaint 
of Gialcad’s acts came to Utgoine, he summoned him before 
him and questioned him, but Gialcad filled his father’s ears with 
false testimony and lies. But indeed after a time Utgoine was 
aware that Gialcad his son and Bacac his brother made unlawful 
seizures of herds from the pastures of the Gaal and drove them 
to their own possessions. A great wrath blazed in the mind of 
Utgoine, but it is said in Mumain and Gaalen, that the anger 
of Utgoine had not been half so great were the cattle driven 
to his own lands. Ermion dispatched curriers to Gialcad and 
Bacac saying: Come forthwith into my presence. 


Ermion placed the sharpest rebuke on Bacac, saying: By 
Baal O Bacus it is well that nature debarred thee from ever 
being king over Errion! (he was a cripple). But Bacac grew 
pale with the fury of anger, and drawing his dagger from its 
sheath he drove it to the hand guard of its hilt into the intestines 
of the king, and giving the weapon a twist in the wound, he 
left it and fled with haste. After a while Leogaire came to the 
chamber in which his father was wounded, he still lived, and re-

lated to him the evil which befel him and the íratricide com- 
mitted by Bacac. ' 

Shortly after telling, he breathed his last breath oí life. But 
Giolead came with speed to the tents of the king of Magnas, 
but Laogaire pursued Bacac and before the body of his father 
was cold in death he took vengeance and eric on him for the 
murder of his father. So fell Utgoine Ermion, styled the great. 
He reigned thirty years over Errion. 





X. Book. IV. Chapter. Reign of Laogaire sixteen years 
from 270 to 254. B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland 
Vol. I, Page 76. Age of the world 4607. Under the name of 
Laogaire Lore. Also in the Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





After the murder of Utgoine by the hand of his brother 


.Bacac, Gialcad the oldest son came and swept all the royal 


treasures from the pavilions of his father such as gems and 
jewels and rare treasures. After making this seizure he sent 
curriers through Gaalen summoning the princes and nobles to 
the Bruiteine of Gaalen to elect a king. Now it transpired 
that many were adverse to Gialcad for they believed Gialcad 
was present when Bacac murdered Utgoine his father, and 
they knew for certain that he showed no zeal in exacting ven- 
geance of Bacac? On this account they elected Leogaire for 
it pleased them how he pursued and slew the murderer Bacac. 
The general assembly of Errion convened on Magnas, and the 
princes and nobles of Mumain and Gaalen elected Leogaire 
Ermion over Errion, but indeed the king and nobles of Uliad and 
of Ultonnmact were not present. 

The wrath of Gialcad smouldered for a season against Leo- 
gaire however since he remained at the head of the questors 
of Errion, indeed he was in everything save the title more a king 
than Leogaire, therefore he begot a species of love for his bro- 
ther. Notwithstanding Roigne feared for his brother’s sake 
for he loved Leogaire, and said to him: I beseech you to advise 
with Conncobar king of Ullad, for Noid king of Mumain is like 
a prince of Gaalen since he married Aine. In like manner the 
wife of Leogaire himself was the daughter of the chief of Cruiten. 
Ultonnmact stands in true friendship with Ullad. Therefore 


T2 


what if Gaalen and Ullad should always rule over Errion: The 
king of Ullad in Aodmagnmaca, and the king of Gaalen in Mag- 
nas? And a covenant to stand for the future between you? 
Leogaire answered: Let Roigne proceed as he deems just. 
After that Roigne set out for Aodmagnmaca, and repeated to 
Conncobar king of Ullad the same words. This was the reply 
Conncobar made him: What time the sons of the hero first 
came, after the drowning of Cier under the waves of the great 
sea, leaving Er an orphan, Iolar the ancestor of Leogaire, whis- 
pered with Blath surnamed Amergein the Ardcromfear saying: 
Since his father is dead, we will take his share and his division 
of the territory? But Marcac the forefather of Noid raised the 
shield of his protection over the youth so it was that my great- 
father Er was established in the land of Ullad! It was here his 
carn was built therefore is his division of the land called Ullad. 
Now Leogaire adviseth with his brother Roigne to seize and 
despoil Noid of his kingdom. Return home to Gaalen O Roigne 
and say tu Leogaire, thus spoke Conncobar king of Ullad: From 
the beginning Ullad was the division of the sons of Er, their 
children will retain that much by law or if necessary by force 
of arms. They do not need nor desire to possess more. The 
king who now reigns in Ullad will without doubt walk in the 
footsteps of his race, and if required will march the collanns 
of warriors to maintain the laws of Errion. The words of Conn- 
cobar put Roigne to shame, and he answered: Had Conncobar 
known Rogne’s love for Leogaire and how he fears Gialcad he 
would condone my words. 

Conncobar took his hand and said: Have courage O Roigne 
Conncobar shall remember your words no more. Go O Roigne 
to thy brother and relate the words of Conncobar to him, and 
return and dwell here with me, perhaps the friendship between 
us safeguard the peace between thy brothers. Roigne did ac- 
cording to the word of the king of Ullad. Now Leogaire gave 
Gialcad scope to do as he listeth, and Gialcad began to conduct 
himself with haughtiness through Gaalen and Mumain, and 
though the tax of the high-king was the same as any other 
claim yet Gialcad levied upon it as if the spoils of war until the 
spirit of revolt began to move in Gaalen and in Mumain. 

For this reason Roigne set forth for the tents of Gialcad

to confer and remonstrate with him, but the wrath oí Gialcad 
was so aroused that he would have slain his brother, but that 
Roigne was more expert in arms than he, íor Gialcad was thin 
and weak of body. , After this Roigne returned to Aodmagnmaca 
and dwelt with Conncobar the king. Roigne was more learned 
and wise than any of the race of Iolar, for this reason it was 
rumored in Mumain and in Gaalen that Lerida mother of Roigne 
and queen of Utgoine was paramour to Ros prince of Ullad. 
For the truth of this gossip I, Leigban, will not vouch. 

‘In those days owing to the discontent and unrest in Mumain 
and Gaalen many set out from Errion. 

The children of Feine (Phoenicians) were the first to bring 
to the Eastern world the military renown, the strength, bravery 
and heroism of the Gaal Scioth Iber. They were in great de- 
mand by the kings and rulers of the world in time of warfare 
and battle. 

But there was a law made by the kings and high-kings of 
Errion forbidding foreign military service to the men of Errion, 
inflicting a penalty on every one who accepted such stipend, 
and branding them as outcasts from their tribes forever in Er- 
rion. Hence when they had served their period of foreign ser- 
vice in arms, they did not return to Errion, but retired to Gaal- 
atia where their fellow-mercenaries had founded a colony. Since 
in Errion there abounded dense oak forests and they fed their 
swine on the acorns which gave the pork a delectable flavor, 
therefore the buyers of Feine came each year with a merchant 
fleet, ostensibly to buy up pigs, cattle, wheat, and wool, but pri- 
vately through the medium of the priests of Baal to incite the 
youth to sail with them to the Eastern world. They received 
an ounce of silver for every soldier, but it was said that the 
cromfir received half the profit. Whenever it transpired that 
a chieftain, or a ruler was dissatisfied with his lot in Errion he 
set out with his companions in arms and his tribes people to 
the Eastern world and they laid tribute and a tax for supplies, 
on every country, tribe and territory through which they 
marched. In the days of Utgoine the high-king, countless 
thousands set forth from Errion, and they made war on anyone 
who opposed their progress. Even as Brian MacCeucth de- 


_ populated Italy, and burned the city of Rome, because the 


774 

Romans attempted to do him dishonor. After the death of 
Alexander the great son of Phillip in the far East. There were 
ten colanns in his service without pay from the time of his 
sickness to the time his kingdom was divided among his chief- 
tains, though Langeur MacCuir pressed Liosimachus the mili- 
tary paymaster for the stipend at least of the common soldier 
‘of the men of Errion. This was Liosimchus reply: March away 
to the north of Thrace O royal hero, and when I and the army 
will come I will pay your just demands. Afterwards when 
Liosimachus came, this was what he said: Great God-am I 
alone to be held responsible for the debts of Alexander, and I 
receiving the least valuable divisions of his kingdom? So he 
refused them their back pay. But MacCuir said to his mer- 
cenaries: O free sons of Errion will we accept the refusal of 
our common stipend from this Liosimachus without a thrust 
or a blow? 

They formed on the spot and marched against Liosimachus 
and waged a great battle with him, routing and slaughtering 
his army and killing himself. After seizing an immense spoil 
of gold, jewels and priceless treasures captured in the wars of 
Alexander, they set forth for Gaalatia. In the East, Phyrrus 
king of the Mollosians was the bravest royal hero of the world 
in those days. All the teeth in each jaw were a solid piece of 
bone and enamel. After viscitudes in flight and exile he after- 
wards regained his father’s kingdom in Epirus. : 

He incorporated two comlanns of the Gaal Scioth Iber into 
his army. They became such resolute favorites of his that they 
were styled throughout the East “The Phyrric Phalanx.” 

It was by their prowess he broke many battles, and wrested 
victory frequently from the sullen warriors of Rome on the 
plains of Tarentum. Afterwards Phyrrus perished in the city 
of Argos by the impact of a roofing flag which a hag of that 
city cast down upon his head from the top of her house. 

Ullad enjoys peace and prosperity. Ullad and Ultonnmact 
are as one. In those days Concobar began to enlarge the Mur- 
nollavs and to build additions to Aodmagnmaca. For the rows 
of edifices constructed by Eocaid were not sufficient for the hous- 
ing and dormitories of the scholars who came in multitudes 
from all divisions of Errion and from the land of Cruiten. Leig- 


775 


ban took no rest but went from Murnollav to Murnollav un- 
ceasingly but his strength was not equal to his inclination, 
therefore he died in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Conn- 
cobar and the children of the land mourned him sorely, but the 
sorrow of none was greater than that of Roigne the son of Ut- 
goine. When the ollavs assembled in conference they elected 
Toile as ardollam. Now in the ninth year of the reign of Leo- 
gaire Ermion, Noid king of Mumain died after a reign of seven- 
teen years, when the assembly met on the Bruiteine of Mumain 
they elected Lugad the son of Noid king over Mumain in place 
of his father.. It transpired that Lugad was under the influence 
of Gialcad so that he did whatever he wished, but while Conco- 
bar lived Gialcad feared. After a reign of thirty years Concobar 
expired in Aodmagnmaca and was buried there, his tumulus 
stands to the eastward, and when the assembly of Ullad con- 
vened on the Bruiteine they elected Fiacnac the son of Cas, 
the son of Ciombaot, king over Ullad. Then the spirit of Gial- 
cad arose, when the general-assembly of Errion convened in the 
first year of the reign of Fiacnac. The mouth and hand and eye 
of Gialcad gave attendance to Fiacnac, after a little while he 
said to him: Hast thou O Fiacnac ever thought of the danger 
impending Errion from Oilliol son of Aine of the race of Feo- 
tar? Is it meet or just that this Leogaire should rule who 
mouses about like an owl? If Fiacnac would take the throne? 
But Fiacnac replied: No O Gialcad let each retain his own 
possessions. When the king of Ullad came to Aodmagnmaca 
he related to Roigne the words of Gialcad. Roigne went with 
haste and whispered the news to Leogaire. When Roigne re- 
turned to Aodmagnmaca he repeated the words of Leogaire to 
Fiacnac: It would be most desirable to me to be rid of the 
burden of ruling. When the Assembly of Ullad convened on the 
Bruiteine after these events, and upon the reading of the writ- 
ings according to practice, Fiacnac did not hear the words he 
commanded Toile to record. Then Fiacnac king of Ullad arose 
and said: O princes and freeborn children of Ullad my ear 
has heard nothing of the story which I commanded Toile to 
inscribe in the book of Chronicles concerning the words which 
passed between Gialcad and Fiacnac king of Ullad? And it 
happened that confusion came over Toile and his memory de- 


776 


serted him, so that from that moment he was like a child. So 
when the conference of Ollavs sat in Aodmagnmaca they elected 
Seagair Ardollav, and he recorded the words in their proper 
place faithfully. At this juncture Gialcad scattered ugly and evil 
rumors about concerning Leogaire: That his father was not 
fratricidally removed by Bacac, but slain by his brother in ex- 
pectation of possessing the throne, that it was the fear of Leo- 
gaire that drove himself at that time to his father’s tents, that 
Leogaire frequently asked him for condonement for the crime, 
and that he should rule in all things except the title of king. 

Lo now when these whispers had swam through the land; 
even so great was the esteem of Leogaire or else his fear, that 
one would suppose Gialcad was Ermion. Then in the sixteenth 
year of the reign of Leogaire an embassy came to him saying: 
Gialcad thy beloved brother lieth on his bed of sickness, and 
calleth for a sight of Leogaire his brother before he dies! Leo- 
gaire proceeded to the dwelling and stronghold of Gialcad to 
comfort him, and according to the royal usage he took with 
him his armed guard. When Leogaire was passing out the 
threshold of the chamber, Gialcad said in a faint voice: Why 
O brother didst thou bring this noisy loud-shouting retinue? If 
it were but possible that thou and thy son Ojilliol should stay a 
short while with me, many a grave and sorrowful matter I have 
to relate to you O my dearest brother! It transpired that Leo- 
gaire gave ear to the pleading of his brother and dismissed his 
body guard that came with him. What time Leogaire and Oil- 
liol his son dwelt in the tents of Gialcad, Dub (Duff) the chief- 
tain of Remion and his son gave attendance to them. 

On the evening of the following day, before Leogaire and Oil- 
liol retired to their bedchambers, they entered Gialcad’s cham- 
ber, and as Leogaire sat on the edge of the bed and Oilliol by 
his side, Dub and his son entered the chamber, then Gialcad 
sprang up quickly and drove his dagger dreadfully into the 
bosom of Leogaire, and Dub and his son killed Oilliol. Thus 
fell Leogaire after he had reigned sixteen years. 

After the assasination when the butchery was complete, 
Dub and his son gave a shout and raised a great uproar, with- 
out delay the story got circulated through Errion: That Leo- 
gaire and his son Oilliol attempted to murder Gialcad while he

lay on his sick-bed, but that Dub and his son Morcean over- 
came them while off their guard.

seventeen years 254 to 237 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom

Upon the death of Leogaire, the swift curriers were dis- 
patched throughout Errion to summon the kings, princes, chief- 
tains, ollavs, and the tribunes of the people, together to elect an 
Ermion. When the general assembly sat they elected Gailcad 
Ermion, for prior to the convening of the general assembly he 
was elected king of Gaalen on the Bruiteine of Magnas. . 

In these days Duac the son of Oilliol son of Leogaire, was 
a babe two years old, they bore the child away from the know- 
ledge and danger of Gialcad, and hid him in safe keeping in 
the fortress of Fearmor the chieftain of Coriat, who was son 
of Morla the father of Aine the Queen who wedded the chief 
of Cruiten. Now this Aine was mother of that Aine whom 
Leogaire married in the land of Cruiten and she bore for him 
Oilliol who was the father of the little exile Duac. 

It came to pass that Ermion sent trackers to trace up the 
child, a certain message came back to him, saying: The child 
is a deaf mute. For Alla mother of the children of Fearmor 
named the child “MAON” and so every one called him. Now 
the same day that Maon was carried to the tents of Fearmor 
Alla his wife gave birth to a female child, calling her Moriat, 
she became the foster sister of Maon. Gialcad did not further 
molest Maon, but the stories of Utgoine and Leogaire, and 
Gialcad and the wounds which Gialcad suffered from Oilliol 
the son of Leogaire before he raised his hand to parry them, 
were industriously spread far and wide. 

However nobody ever saw the alleged wounds. After a 
while it began to be questioned more particularly now of this 
physician now of that: O sire art thou he who dressed the 
wounds of Gialcad which he received at the hands of Oilliol 
son of Leogaire? But each individual answered: No. Word 
of all those occurences came to the hearing of Fiacnac king of 


778 

Ullad, but he replied: Except Roigne the seed of Iolar are all 
alike. I will not interfere between them. At this time Mumain 
was at the nod of Gialcad for the prince of Ib-Lugad married 
Ermion’s daughter. But Ullad dwelt under the shield of peace 
and prosperity all the days of the sixteen years which Fiacnac 
ruled the kingdom. When Gialcad had defiled the throne of Er- 
rion twelve years, Fiacnac king of Ullad expired. When the 
' assembly of Ullad sat on the Bruiteine, Daire son of Fiacnac 
was elected king of Ullad in place of his father. What. time 
Daire had ruled one year Maon had grown to be a youth, and 
of such noble mould that his fame reached the hearing of Gial- 
cad, it was unpleasant news to him. Suddenly there was no 
trace of Maon on Coriat. Fearmor came to Aodmagnmaca and 
related to Daire that he was returning from Ardtan whither 
he had accompanied the youth on his journey to Ner the son 
of Cruiten who was the chief of the land of Cruiten, for word 
came to the ear of Fearmor that Gialcad was about to slay Maon. 

He likewise related to Daire the condition of the children 
of Mumain, narrated how a portion of the earth sunk down the 
length of a bowshot and how the waters rushed into the gulf, 
and remained there, and it is called the Waters of Gurna in 
Coriat. Fearmor was not profoundly learned save in the chase, 
music and the dance. The king said to me: O Seagar that 
man is without wisdom, the slender. share he has, he defiles 
with deep potations which smothers the intellect of man. As 
Fearmor set out for Mumain Daire presented him with two 
steeds: lac and Easog, and two splendid dogs Sugac and Luc. 
Fearmor went his way happy. After the lapse of four years 
Fearmor came again to Aodmagnmaca, he spoke like this: Maon 
still resides with Ner in the land of Cruiten every tongue praises 
him highly. Although his body is in the land of Cruiten yet 
his soul is in Errion, he covets leave to set his foot upon its 
soil. Gaalen and Mumain desire a sight of the brave youth, 
the chieftain of the Feotar has promised all aid in his power, | 
what saith the king of Ullad? Will he not raise a hand to pull 
the Easog Cobtac from the throne? Daire replied: Mumain 
raised him up, let Mumain pull him down. Ullad will remain 
in her peace and prosperity. But Fearmor continued: Will 
the king of Ullad oppose the march of the Feotar who will lead 


779 


Maon hither? Daire king of Ullad answered: “The Gaal of 
Ullad and the Gaal of Cruiten are brothers let them march 
through Ullad and welcome. After that Fearmor went to the 
beach of Ardtan to await the coming of Maon and Glas son of 
Fearmor and his retinue and the army of Feotar, for it was there 
he expected to sight them. 

Fearmor stood on a cliff over the sea, and saw a boat ap- 
proaching the port, in it were the messengers whom Fearmor 
had sent to the land of Cruiten to Maon along with Craftiene 
Fearmor’s minstrel. They said: O Fearmor Maon and thy 
children are well, and will be here presently. What time Fear- 
more had gone to Aodmagnmaca, the messengers sent to Cruiten 
not yet returned, Moriat chanced to hear what was transpiring, 
she could find no rest at home or afield where Maon used to 
be, and her affection and love grew within her and devoured her 
heart! Alla beheld the condition of her daughter with sadness, 
but she spoke not. Until Moriat said: Permit me to go to thy 
' sister in the tents of Oir? And Moriat went. At this juncture 
the chieftain of Airmion was absent with the hunters, but his 
two sons youths were at home. Aongaisa their sister was a 
dear companion of Moriat, more so than any in the land of 
Mumain. Now Moriat confided to her every desire of her 
heart. The two maidens and the two youths with their at- 
tendants set out and did not rest until they stood on the land 
of Ullad, they came to Aodmagnmaca for they heard Fearmor 
was there, and Daire the king introduced them to the presence 
of the chieftain of Coriat, and Moriat looked at Crafteine the 
aged bard of Fearmor, she read in his eyes how matters stood. 
The feast was prepared, they were no more than seated at the 
banquet when footsteps and many voices were heard, and war- 
riors in the panoply of Errion entered, others wore the rough 
dress and spears of Feotar. Before a word could be uttered 
Moriat was enfolded in the arms of Maon. Fearmor embraced 
Glas his son and Maon and conducted them into the presence 
of Daire king of Ullad saying: My son Glas a brave youth, 
and Maon the foster son of Alla. So the royal attendants en- 
larged the banquet board, and Daire the king of Ullad gave 
them a gentle welcome. Awakening the strings of music, Craf- 
tiene sang: 


780 


The evil deeds of Cobtac, the fall of Leogaire and Oilliol the 
flight of the child to Coriat, the adoption of Maon, his second 
flight to the land of Ner. The love of Maon and Moriat. When 
Crafteine had finished he said: O gentle and mighty king of 
Ullad what if Glas narrate the second part? So Glas the brave 
son of Fearmor stood saying: Four years did Maon and Glas 
and their retainers from Mumain, sojourn in the land of Ner. 
We listened continually to see if Errion would call us, when 
the four years were completed the hour was at hand, Ner pre- 
pared two comlanns of the Gaal of Feotar to march with Maon 
on his journey. We crossed the sea to Errion, Maon dispatched 
curriers to the promontairies nearest to light fires as an agreed 
signal to the watchers, quickly the fires were blazing to the 
west and south. It happened that Gialcad was on the southern 
boundaries of Gaalen when word came to him, saying: The 
son of Oilliol cometh upon the king. So he sent the swift riders 
out to concentrate the comlanns of Gaalen and Mumain im- 
mediately. Indeed the comlanns of Mumain assembled but 
they marched away joyfully to Maon, and the comlanns of 
Gaalen were cold on the cause of Gialcad. Maon set out with 
haste until he came to the army of Gaalen, he sought out Gial- 
cad, and he commanded the heralds, saying: Let Gialcad show 
his blood-guilty face until he hears the wounds of Oilliol speak- 
ing through the mouth of Maon. But Gialcad was heavy of 
heart and weak of hand by the weight of blood, therefore he 
did not show himself. Maon saw a company near the heralds 
and thinking that Gialcad was one of them said to his body 
guard: Can we not cut down that lean wolf and his com- 
panians? Ordering a charge they clove through Gialcad and his 
body-guard very quickly. We raised Maon on our shields, and 
as the comlanns assembled around he said: A gentle welcome 
to you my brave friends, and the shout of a mighty cheer arose, 
and the clashing of shields. Glas said: Doth he speak O brave 
warriors? All answered: He speaketh. The youth Maon said: 
No dirge shall be sung nor war song chanted over such as he, 
for he murdered my father and my father’s father! So far his 
fall has been as honorable as the death of many a mighty king, 
the breath of life is in him still, it is not just that his evil spirit 
be breathed out into the air of Gaalen? The hosts replied pros- 


781 


per Baal and all the works of Labrad! We lowered Labrad from 
our shields to the ground. But soldiers went to Gialcad still 
breathing and binding his hands and feet with fetters of chain 
dragged him to a pit they dug in the earth, and cast Gialcad 
into it, calling him: Cobta-Caol Breug! 

They settled the soil even with that surrounding it, so that 
no memory of him should remain over the earth. After that we 
came to Aodmagnmaca. Daire king of Ullad presented Craf- 
teine a harp resplendent with chased gold, the like of which 
had never before come into Mumain. Crafteine named it Daire. 
To the two young heroes the king presented a choice war- 
horse and a coat of mail, and Eoca Daire’s queen gave each a 
fine cloak and belt and pin and a dagger of red gold. After 
this they proceed homeward to the tents of Fearmor, where 
Maon married the beautiful and blooming Moriat.

230 B. C. (See the Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I.’

seac and Maon son of Oilliol. Also the Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





When Gialcad fell after a reign of seventeen years, whereas 
many of the nobles of Gaalen fell with Gialcad in the battle 
of Dunnarig a time passed before the election of a king. When 
the assembly of Gaalen sat on the Bruiteine they elected Duac 
son of Oilliol brother of Utgoine, king over Gaalen, when the 
princes and nobles of Mumain and Gaalen assembled on the 
Bruiteine of Magnas they elected Duac Ermion. But Labrad 
son of Oilliol son of Leogaire lived on his father’s possessions 
and retained the companies of Feotar about him for they did 
not return to Cruiten. In the first year of the reign of Duac 
the curriers went through Ermion summoning the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollavs, tribunes of the people, and the judges, as 
well as the king, and nobles of Ultonnmact, to convene as the 
general-assembly of Errion when they should see the fires ablaze 
on the top of the raths throughout the land. The curriers added 
indeed: Labrad had brought indictment against Morcean chief- 
tain of Remion. 


When the general assembly convened, there gathered multi- 


752 


tudes greater than since the days of Oilliol Biorgneat around 
Magnas. When the assembly sat the first session Ermion was 
on the throne, and the king oí Ullad, Mumain, and Ultonnmact, 
were each in his proper place. The judges sat on chairs, then 
Tollard the Ardbreitem oí Errion arose saying: Let Morcean 
the chieftain of Remion stand before the assembly. And More- 
caen stood up. Tollard said: After nine days when the gen- 
eral assembly shall sit in the second session let Morcean give 
answer to Labrad for the blood of Oilliol his father and Leo- 
gaire his grandfather some time since Ermion? Then thé as- 
sembly went forth but there was no great feast nor athletic 
contests as were formerly on the field of Tabarta. Labrad 
remained in the tents of Daire king of Ullad and Fearmor and 
many of the princes of Mumain came as did Crafteine the bard 
from Coriat with the harp which the king oí Ullad gave him, 
he awakened music on the chords of Daire his harp sweeter 
than was before that time heard in Errion. When the assembly 
sat the second itme the name Morcean was called publicly, 
but he was not in his place, nor to be found, nor word whither 
he went so Labrad and Glas.and Labrad’s companies went, and 
requested a company of trackers to run down Morcean but no © 
trace of him was to be found on the face of the land, when La- 
brad returned he listened to the words of the law of Errion. He 
stood in presence of the assembly and asked: When shall the 
testimony of Degain and Stad be heard against Morcean? All 
remained silent until Fergais prince of Ullad arose saying: 
What time Morcean shall stand in our presence. But Labrad 
answered: Not till then? He began to talk, when Daire king 
of Ullad arose and said: O fellow rulers and freeborn sons of 
Errion, although I admire the zeal which Labrad manifests in 
pursuing the man alleged to have shed his father’s blood. Then 
Labrad interrupted: O king it was the murderous Morcean 
who gave the first thrust! Daire continued: O Labrad though 
thou art dear to me, the laws of Errion are dearer. 

What if Labrad take his seat among the princes of his race 
until his ear hears the words of the tract of the laws? And it 
was so. When the words were finished, Daire arose and said: 
Labrad now has heard that it is necessary for every tongue 
to be silent while the indicted one is absent. Labrad became 








783 


sad and said: Another three years shall elapse and Morcean 
alive? While he and his father struck the instant they heard 
the signal of Cobtac-Caol-Breug? Daire said: Let the words 
of the practice of Tanasteac be heard, and the words were read, 
then Daire king of Ullad said: The case of the death of Oilliol 
can be examined on the Bruiteine of Gaalen, Labrad was satis- 
fied. After the three days the book of the Chronicles was read, 
and when the heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on the 
Bruiteine demanding justice? No voice answered. The hosts 
dispersed homeward. Daire king of Ullad sent four times nine 
youths with Crafteine to learn to play the harp. When Lugad 
king of Mumain had ruled twenty-seven years he died, and when 
the assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine they elected 
Eunda in place of his father king over Mumain and in the ninth 
year of the rule of Daire in Ullad Seagair died and when the 
conference of the ollavs assembled they elected Stacad ardollav 
of Ullad. It was afterward asserted that there was no ollav 
in Errion nor Gaalag wiser than Seagair since the days of Par- 
lat. In his seventh year as Ardrig of Errion Duac expired. They 
buried him and constructed his cairn in Magnas. 





XI. Book. III. Chapter. Reign of Duac son of Oilliol seven 
years from 230 to 223 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of 
Ireland Vol. I. Page 77.) 





After the death of Duac, when the assembly of Gaalen sat 
on the Bruiteine they elected Duac son of Oilliol son of Leo- 
gaire king over Gaalen. The curriers went out through Errion 
saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes 
of the people, assemble as the general assembly of Errion for 
the throne of Ermion is vacant. When they came into session 
they elected Duac king of Gaalen Ermion. Now it transpired 
that Duac grew haughty to a degree, and he would not take 
the counsel of Daire about the children of Feotar which fol- 
lowed him from the land of Cruiten. Whatever evil the soldiers 
of the two comlanns did (and many were their transgressions) 
Ermion did not discipline them. On a certain day Cine son 
of Cinc, officer of the comlann and a prince of the Feotar spoke 
to Melgat son of Cobtac reviling him saying: Are those red 


784 


brands on your face the marks of the blood of Oilliol? For 
indeed there were two red spots on Melgat’s face since he was 
born. So Melgat complained to Duac of Cine’s misconduct, his 
reply was: Wert thou on hand when thy father murdered my 
father? Now in the sixth year of the reign of Duac as Ermion 
the general assembly of Errion convened, and the word ran 
concerning the deeds of Duac, moreover, it displeased the kngs 
of Ullad, Mumain and Ultonnmact, yea even the princes of 
Gaalen, that the comlanns of Feotar should stand in arms so 
close to the general assembly of Errion. Melgast spoke pri- 
vately now to this noble now to that, and ascertained that Er- 
mion had forfeited the love of the freeborn sons of Gaalen. 
Therefore Melgat made a covenant of revolt with them 
against Ermion. Melgat prepared a large force, and Duac 
massed the comlanns, and it was wonderful to see in Errion 
the children of Gaalen arrayed against Ermion, and half Mumain 
was with Melgat that is Conn prince of Ib-Lugad and the chief- 
tains of Deas beyond Amanmor, but the king of Mumain did 
not proceed to the war.. The two armies met on the boundaries 
of Mumain and Gaalen among the hills of Ceas. Melgat com- 
manded to be proclaimed: Who are those aliens who carry 
their lances for a charge in the land of Errion? Let them go 
without delay to the land of their dwelling. Duac answered 
aloud: The warriors who slew Cobtac Caol Breug, they will 
march to their dwellings around Ermion over the corpse of 
Melgat. They sounded “To battle.” And the heralds about 
Melgat proclaimed: Let it not be said in Errion in future that 
one of the half-breeds went safe from this battle. The comlanns 
face to face fought valorously and desperately, and Duac fell, 
and there didn’t a man of Feotar remain to tell the story after 
the battle, Melgat commanded: Let the children of Feotar be 
interred according to the custom of the land of Cruiten, and 
it was so. Duac’s carn was constructed over the spot where 
he fell. His name at first was Duac son of Oilliol, surnamed 
Maon, but the day he cut down Gialcad the army called him: 
Labard. And this is his name on the roll of kings. He was 
also surnamed: Lungseac, because he came with many ships 
to Errion. The mouth of the waters of Slaigne is no longer 
called: Inbior Slaigne, but Loc Garbmuin because there the 





Se ee ee mair eee 





785 


‘Gaal of Feotar came to port. As the battle ended when Duac 


was killed Morcean the chieftain of Remion came into the pres- 
ence of Melgat for Morcean fought in that battle. But Melgat 
commanded that he be apprehended so that he would make 
answer for the indictment regarding the glood of Ojilliol. And 
the reign of Duac was seven years complete as Ermion. 





XI. Book. IV. Chapter. Reign of Melgat twelve years 223 
to 211 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. | 
Page 78. Age of the world 4678. Under the name of Melgat 
Moltac. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





Now from the time Labrad Luingseac armed the comlanns 
of Feotar with “Slaigs” (i. e. broadheaded spears) the kingdom 
of Gaalen began to be called: “The kingdom of Laigean” i. e. 
The kingdom of broadheaded spears. When the assembly of 
Laigean convened on the Bruiteine they elected Melgat son of 
Giolcad king over Laigean. Then Melgat summoned the judges 
to the Bruiteine and Morcean was placed before the assembly 
Degan and Stad were called and raising their right hands they 
swore by Baal, Re, and Tarsnasc, and invoked the spirit of 
Oilliol saying: As soon as Dub and Morcean heard the voice 
of Gialcad they ran from the place where they were, and Degan 
and Strad followed after them and saw Galcad standing over 
Leogaire who was stretched on the ground, and Oilliol entered 
and Morcean stabbed him with many thrusts until he died. 
Tollard the judge addressed Morcean: Thou hast heard the 
testimony against thee, what dost answer to them? Morcean 
remained silent but he looked up pityfully to Melgat. But Mel- 
gat said publicly: Do not turn thy gaze appealingly to me O 
Morcean for there is neither pity nor mercy in my heart for 
thee. If my father lost his senses should I lose my fame? Let 
the judges speak. Tollard said: Shall the tract of the laws be 
unrolled? And every member raised the right hand. So the 
sentence was read, and he was delivered over to the hands of 
the executioners and a great throng gathered about, and Morcean 
was removed from the sight of men forever. For this act of 
justice the mind and desire of every one was grateful to Melgart, 
they surnamed him “Melgat Moltac.” Then the curriers went 


786 


forth summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and the 
tribunes of the people, to general assembly of Errion saying: 
Indeed the throne of Errion is vacant. When the assembly con- 
vened Daire kng of Ullad was in his place, and Melgat’s acts 
were so pleasing to him, that as soon as the heralds proclaimed: 
The throne is vacant, Daire king of Ullad arose, and said: O 
noble rulers and free born sons of Errions what if Melgat son 
of Gialcad sit upon the throne? They elected him as with the 
voice of one man. Melgat ruled justly, since the days of Ut- 
goine the law began to lose force in Mumain Laigean, but now 
Melgat gave them due prestige, Daire in like manner is the 
flower of Ullad, Ullad and Ultonnmact are in peace and prosper- 
ity. Now in the third year of Melgat’s rule as Ermion, before 
the going out of the heralds to summon the kings, princes, chief- 
tains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, to sit in the general 
assembly, Feargeal the Ardcromfear of Laigean came with a 
deputation to the tents of Ermion on Magnas, and Feargeal 
conducted the deputation into the presence of Melgat the king, 
and the deputation was an embassy from Gaalag, Iberia, and 
Buasce, and Gaistrebaal a fosterling of Aonbaal was the head 
of the deputation, he bore with him letters from Aonbaal his 
brother chieftain of the Feine and high lord of the Gaal Scioth 
Iber in Gaalag, and the Gaal Scioth in the west of Europe, 
saying: Baal and victory to thee O Melgat Ardrig of the Gaal 
Scioth of Errion and the Gaal Scioth Iber in the westerm world. 
I have declared war for the sake of the Gaal Scioth the children 
of Feine of Catharcedun (Carthage) against the tribe of Remion 
(the Romans). I Aonbaal son of Amalcer Barrgais have decreed 
war in the name of Catharcedun, but in fact for the sake of the 
Gaal Scioth Iber, Ogageis, Naoimadeis, on the face of the earth, 
indeed for the sake of all mankind! for in truth if the human 
race stood on the Bruiteine when the heralds proclaimed: 
Stands any being on the Bruiteine demanding justice? Then it 
would behoove mankind to lift its voice in accusation against 
the tribe of Remion! For in whatsoever region there is peace 
and contentment, whatsoever place there is prosperity and 
plenty, in whatsoever country there is riches and treasures, 
such a place will arouse the avarice of the Remions. An avarice 
that withers like Baal in his wrath and violence. I am under 


Py

787 


vows to be forever against the tribe of Remion! What time 
my father Amalcer Barrgais was to proceed with his army to 
Eisbaniat (Spain) and I a youth of nine, he made a great sacri- 
fice to Baal the highest and asked me if I wished to go with 
him? I replied: It would be most pleasing. He said: I will 
take you if you promise as I demand. And he dismissed all 
who were around the altar, and commanded me to place my hand 
upon it making oath: That I would be a perpetual enemy to the 
Remions, that there should be no friendship between us for- 
ever! I swore and have kept the oath O king to this day. For 
these reasons I ask the hand of friendship of thee, and if possible 
aid against the Remions. My brother Gaistrebaal will explain 
at length the conditions of the covenant between us. But Er- 
mion said to Feargeal and Gaistrebaal. I cannot give answer to 
this case, but the general assembly will convene shortly, stay 
in my pavilions and I will place the question before them. And 
it was so. When the general assembly sat Ermion arose say- 
ing: O fellow rulers and freeborn sons of Errion when the as- 
sembly shall gome to order for the second session after the nine 
days Ermion has words to place before your consideration. 
When the assembly sat for the second session, Gaistrebaal and 
his deputation was seated among the princes of Laigean. Ermion 
arose and said: O thrice gentle and noble rulers of Errion: 
There has come to us Gaistrebaal brother of Aonbaal the high- 
prince of the Feine of Catharcedun with an embassy of the Gaal 
Scioth of these regions if it seem pleasing to you Stocad the 

Ardollam will read the letter which Aonbaal and our kindred © 
people writes to us? Stocad read the letter in hearing of the 
general: assembly, after the reading they conferred, but they 
were neither unanimous nor of one counsel upon the question, 
After a time Conn prince of Ib-Lugad arose saying: If Daire 
king of Ullad would speak? A murmur passed through the 
assembly saying: Yes if the king of Ullad would speak! There- 
fore Daire arose and said: O fellow rulers most renowned, and 
freeborn sons of Errion in this cause before replying to Gaistre- 
baal for the sake of our brother Aonbaal high prince of the 
Feine of Catharcedun, and the Gaal Scioth in those regions, it 
behooves us to reflect in the first instance: What our wishes 
may be? And in the second place: What is permissable, and 


' 788 


what the law of Errion forbids, íor to this general assembly the 
law of Errion transcends all else! Therefore I say: Certainly 
we desire to extend the hand of friendship to Aonbaal for all 
time, but to make a pact as allies to wage war with him against 
the tribe of Remion, would be unlawful for us, for there are 
words on the tract of the laws of Errion saying: No king nor 
sovereign prince shall march forth the comlanns out from Er- 
rion. And so it was decided. Notwithstanding there gathered 
privately, chiefly through the zeal of the cromfir, numbers sufh- 
cient to form four comlanns, the greater part of them were 
partisans of Labrad Lungseac, but there came also brave war- 
riors and diatribes (i. e. adventureres separated from their tribe 
by any cause) from every kingdom even from Ultonnmact to 
the port of Loc Garbmuin, and sailed away with Gaistrebaal. 
Now in the fourth year of Melgat’s reign Eunda king of Mumain 
died, when the assembly convened on the Bruitene they elected 
Maccorb his son king over Mumain. The following year Conn 
prince of Ib-Lugad expired, and Lorc his brother was elected in 
his place. .Maccorb king of Mumain married Lorca daughter 
of Lore. It transpired that Lore and Maccorb believed that 
Ermion wished to divide Mumain against the king by stirring 
up the faction of Duac against the faction of Gialcad, so when 
the questors went forth to collect the tax for Ermion they were 
instructed: Bear more heavily on Tuat Mumain than on Deas 
Mumain. In this manner eleven years passed, until the questors 
came upon the land of Maccorb with violence, and as they 
forced away the king’s herds the men of Mumain arose and 
cut them to pieces. For this reason Ermion wrote letters to 
Maccorb saying: Upon the convening of the general assembly 
of Errion let Maccorb answer for the murder of the questors. 
The curriers went forth through Errion summoning the kings, 
princes, chietains, ollavs, and tribunes, of the people, to Magnas. 
When the general assembly of Errion sat the rst session Melgat 
the Ermion arose saying: When this assembly shall convene 
after nine days in its second session let the king of Mumain 
answer: Why the questors of Ermion were slain? When the 
assembly convened in its second session, Maccorb king of Mu- 
main arose saying: The questors were cut down because they 
came into the land as an armed foe driving off a spoil by vio- 


EA ee ee eee

lence. Daire king of Ullad said this has resulted from the ques- 
tors of Utgoine, why does not Mumain send in her share as 
does Ullad? But Melgat replied: The comlanns of the war- 
riors shall safeguard the law of Utgoine, and clamor broke 
forth in the assembly. After a while Diare king of Ullad arose 
and said: O fellow rulers and free born sons of Errion it is my 
opinion that this is the first time the general assembly of Er- 
rion has heard of the law of this man or that man? Let it be 
also the last time. The law is the law of Errion! So Maccorb 
proceeded rapidly to Mumain, and ordered his comlanns while 
Melgat supposed he would» get Maccorb off his guard, there- 
fore he ordered a great army and marched upon the capital of 
Maccorb at Brugrig. But when he approached the waters of 
the Meag the comlanns of Mumain were drawn up in battle 
array over against him. Maccorb commanded his heralds to 
proclaim publicly in the hearing of Melgat: Are these men 
questors come after a spoil? But Melgat did not follow the 
heralds he fought at the left wing, but Siorna his brother di- 
rected the battle in front of Maccorb. They fought with valor, 
Maccorb searching zealously for Melgat, but did not find him. 
But as soon as Lore saw the crown on Ermion’s head, he ordered 
his comlanns saying: O my valiant warriors behold the tax man 
and his train, and shouting their batle cry they charged as 
straight as an arrow from the bow and they cut to pieces all 
before them, and Melgat fell by the hand of Lorc prince of 
Ib-Lugad. But Maccorb marched straight to the Bruiteine of 
Laigean at Magnas, and commanded that everything pertain- 
ing to the general assembly of Errion be transferred from Mag- 
nas to Tabarta. When Maccorb came to Tabarta he would not 
enter the king’s palace but dwelt in his pavillions on Tabarta.

the line of Iber six years 211 to 205 B. C. (See Annals of the 
kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 78. Age of world 4699. Under 
the name Moccorib.) 





Now in these days it transpired that Aongais, son of Duac 
some time Ermion was at the court of Ullad, when word came 
to Daire king of Ullad of the fall of Melgat, and one month 


790 


prior to the arrival of the news Aongais had attained the requi- 
site age, therefore by counsel of Daire he returned with all 
speed to Laigean. When the assembly of Laigean convened 
on the Bruiteine on Magnas, they elected Adngais son of Duac 
son of Oilliol son of Leogaire king over Laigean. 
Maccorb dispatched the currier summoning the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people, to sit as the gen- 
eral assembly in the high chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, for the 
throne is vacant. When it was heard that the sessons would 
be again in Teacmor Tabarta joy came to the hearts of Ullad 
and Ultonnmact. Now it happened that Maccorb did not send 
all the comlanns of Mumain back. When the assembly sat the 
first session the heralds proclaimed: The throne is vacant. 
It was at this juncture that Daire king of Ullad arose sayng: 
O fellow kings, and freeborn sons of Errion, in that we are free, 
we cannot hold an election so long as armed comlanns are 
massed around Tabarta. Maccorb arose saying: The comlanns 
of Mumain will return tomorrow to the land of their dwelling. 
Dair said: For this reason tomorrow the assembly will mani- 
fest its choice. And it was so. On the morrow when the gen- 
eral assembly came to session again, Daire king of Ullad stood 
saying: What if Maccorb sit on the throne of Errion? All 
answered with one voice: Yes be it so, be it so! Maccorb went 
forth to Liafail, and the Ardcromfear placed the Eisaon on his 
brow, and Lorc laid the royal robe on his shoulders. When 
Maccorb returned to the high chamber, the Ardollav said aloud: 
Let Maccorb son of Eunda from Reactad be seated on the 
throne of Ermion. But Maccorb stood in front of the throne 
and said: Not so. Let the Ardollav say Ardrig not Ermion. 
And it was so. Then Maccorb sat on the throne, again he arose 
and said: Let the name of Maccorb be written on the roll of 
kings “Ardrig,” and it was so. Then the Ardollav read publicly 
the hearing of the assembly the writings of Eolus and the 
book of Chronicles of Gaalag. And they went forth and cele- 
brated the great feast of Teacmor and the contest of champion- 
ship on the field of Tabarta. Now there were hosts and count- 
less multitudes from ever ytown land in Errion for their hearts 
rejoiced that they were again in Teacmor and on the great 
campus of Tabarta. When the assembly sat the second time, 





791 


the writings were read according to practice. When finished 
as the heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on Tabarta de- 
manding justice? But no voice replied. And they went home 
to the land of their dwellings. The portals of the high chamber 
were closed. In the second year of the reign of Maccorb as 
Ardrig, Stacad died, and when the ollavs held their conference, 
they elected Naoinan ardollav of Ullad. The reign of Maccorb 
was just and clean. He summons with zeal the general assembly 
to Teacmor Tabarta triennally, and safeguards every practice 
and rule of Tanasteac. 

Errion has peace and contentment. Now when Maccorb had 
reigned Ardrig six years he did eat a surfeit of crabs from which 
he fell sick and died. 





XI. Book. VI. Chapter. Reign of Aongais son of Duac 
seven years 205 to 198 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of 
Ireland, Vol. I., Page 78. Age of world 4702. Under the name 
of “Aongais Ollav.” Also in Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





Now when the assembly of Mumain convened on the Brui- 
teine they elected Cairbre brother of Maccorb king over Mumain. 
The general assembly of Errion was convoked according to 
practice and when the assembly sat the first session they elected 
Aongais son of Duac Ardrig over Errion. After the reading 
. of the writings they went forth and celebrated the great feast 
of Teacmor and games of contest on the field of Tabarta. 

Among the hosts assembled at Tabarta were many of the 
returned warriors who had gone in the days of Melgat to the 
war of Aonbaal against the tribe of Remion, and they told of 
the mighty victory he seized from them in every battle and in 
every engagement until he shut them up within their walls in 
the territory of Remion itself. On this account the spirit of the 
cromfir was exalted for they said: Certainly it was Baal the 
highest who gave these mighty victories to Aonbaal! high prince 
of the Feine of Catharcedun, and to the Gaal Scioth his wor- 
shippers. When the assembly sat the second sesion they ob- 
served every rule, and read the writings according to usage. 
No voice answered to the heralds when they proclaimed: Stands 
any one on Tabarta demanding justice? Now Aongais spent 


793 


much of his youth in Ullad, and he gave earnest attention all 
the time to the prelections and the science of the ollavs, for 
this reason his mind and aspirations were better schooled in 
learning than was the custom for the children of Iolar. Aongais 
was a disciple of Lotar and it pleased him greatly to be styled 
“Saoi” (prof.) and Ollav (LL. D.). There was a lasting friend- 
ship between Daire king of Ullad and Aongais king of Laigean 
and Ardrig. Aongais Ardrig rules with mercy and justice. 
It happened that Cairbre king of Mumain died after a rule of 
four years, when the assembly of Mumain convened on the 
Bruiteine they elected Fearcorb his brother king over Mumain. 
In the seventh year of the reign of Aongais, Congaal son of 
Melgat organized a conspiracy against Aongais. It is said: 
This was the cause and the beginning of the enmity between 
them: Congaal composed verses on many subjects and esteemed 
them highly, now one day when Aongais was in his pavillions 
with a company of princes some of these verses were read in 
his hearing, and he stretched back laughing and joked about 
them, and the heart and spirit of Congaal was embittered, and 
leaving he organized a conspiracy against him. The two armies 
faced each other in battle array on the plains of Almuin,. and 
Aongais fell by the hand of Conngaal, after he had reigned 
seven years. 





XI. Book. VII. Chapter. Reign of Congaal son of Melgat 
Ardrig seven years 198 to 191 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 78. Age of world 4720. " Under the 
name: ‘“Congaal Iaraingleo Fatac.” Also in Book of Inva- 
sions. And the Ogigia.) 





After the fall of Aongais, the assembly of Laigean con- 
vened on the Bruiteine of Magnas, and elected Conngaal king 
over Laigean. Then the curriers went forth through Errion 
summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes 
of the people, without delay to Teacmor Tabarta, saying: For 
the throne of Errion is vacant. When the assembly convened 
the first session they elected Conngaal Ardrig, for Daire king 
of Ullad wonld not accept the throne for he was waxing old 
in days. Daire ruled in peace and gentleness therefore the 








793 


kingdom of Ullad and Ultonnmact were fortunate; but Mumain 
and Laigean were split by contention, the princes of Laigean 
from Duac were flattering one part of the chieftains of Laigean, 
and the princes of Laigean from Cobtac courting the other 
part of them. While Conngaal the Ardrig was spending his 
days composing verses for the minstrels and the poets. 

His associates, with the minstrels and the poets, lauded his 
achievements, surnaming him “Gleo Fatac” for ordinarily it is 
an easy matter to be flattered by one’s companion’s? But in 
truth little learning or science that was befitting or princely 
did Conngaal possess. 

In the seventh year of his reign he sent haughtily to Mumain 
even as his father did after the imperial taxes. When Fear- 
corb heard the ugly language in which Conngaal couched the 
demand for tribute and saw the cohort of questors sent to 
' collect it, his wrath blazed out greatly. He arrayed his com- 
lanns and came upon Congaal and slew him, and said: 

It is not meet nor just to destroy the questors of the Gaal 
for the evil committed by Congaal who commissioned them. 
Therefore he permitted them to return to their own kingdom. 





XI. Book. VIII. Chapter. Reign of Fearcorb son of Eunda 
seven years 191 to 184. B.C. (See Annals of the kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 80. Age of world 4727. Also Annals 
of Clonmacnois.) 





After the death of Conngaal, the assembly of Laigean con- 
vened on the Bruiteine of Magnas, and elected Connla son of 
Melgat king over Laigean. At the same time the curriers were 
dispatched through Errion summoning the kings, princes, chief- 
tains, ollavs and the tribunes of the people, to Teacmor Ta- 
barta. Now when the general assembly sat in the first session 
it transpired that the entire assembly arose and requested Daire 
king of Ullad to be king over Errion? He answered: Thrice 
gentle thanks to you O fellow rulers and free-born sons of 
Errion, but I cannot accept the title, for I deem it well to 
preserve half of Errion in peace and happiness. It appears 
there is no soul in Mumain nor life nor heart in Laigean? Still. 

standing Daire king of Ullad said: 


794 


What if Fearcorb sit Ardrig? And it was so. He did not 
go forth to Liafail, Daire king of Ullad laid the eisaon on his 
brow, and Connla king of Laigean placed the royal robe on 
his shoulders. 

Then the Ardollam read aloud in the hearing of the assembly 
the writings of Eolus and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag, 
upon fininshing they went forth, and celebrated the great feast 
of Teacmor and the contest of Exploits on the field of Tabarta. 
After the nine days the assembly sat the second session and 
the words of the tract of the laws and the practice of Tandsteac 
were read publicly. On the day previous to the adjournment 
the Ardollav read publicly the book of Chronicles of Errion. 
- When finished the heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on 
Tabarta demanding justice? No one replied. 

Now Fearcorb ruled justly, and peacefully; when Connla 


king of Laigean gave him an invitation to come to the hunt to. 


his tents which he raised on Ceas. Since Connla king of Lai- 
gean was always friendly and kind he accepted the invitation 
and set out towards Ceas. Now Fearcorb was a brave and 
princely man and no suspicion of fear entered his mind so he 
took with him but a small retinue of personal attendants. It 
transpired after he had spent four days in the chase, as he 
slept at noontide in his tent he was treacherously slain. Connla 
mourned for him, and they buried him, and raised his carn on 
the spot where he fell. 
And Connla returned to his own kingdom. 





XI. Book. IX. Chapter. Reign of Connla Ardrig four 
years 184 to 180 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland 
Vol. I. Page 80. Age of the world 4757. Also Annals Clon- 
macnois.) 





After the death of Fearcorb, the assembly of Mumain con- 
vened on the Bruiteine, and elected Iber the youngest son of 
Eunda king over Mumain. Then the curriers went forth through 
Errion summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and 
the tribunes of the people, to Teacmor Tabarta. As the gen- 
eral assembly sat in the high-chamber the first session, they 
2lected Connla king of Laigean Ardrig, he went forth to Lia- 











795 


fail, and the Ardcromfear placed the eisaon on his brow and 
the royal robe on his shoulders, on returning he sat on the 
throne. The Ardollav read the writings of Eolus and the book 
of Chronicles of Gaalag, when the reading was finished, they 
went forth, and the great portals of the high-chamber were 
closed. According to usage they celebrated the feast of Teac- 
mor, and the games of contest on the campus of Tabarta. Conn- 
la mourned for Fearcorb continually. Now Connla was re- 
plete with wile, and it came into the hearts of many that Connla 
knew the conditions of the treacherous murder which befel 
Fearcorb in Geas. In the second year of the reign of Connla, 
what time the general assembly of Errion was on Tabarta, 
word of this nature was rumored, and Iber king of Mumain 
heard them. For this reason he sent trackers on a still-hunt 
to Ceas and its borders to investigate the matter to the bottom. 
After he had collected all the testimony relative to the sub- 
ject, in the fourth year of the reign of Connla, Iber king of 
Mumain wrote letters to Leim the chief judge of Errion mak- 
ing complaint, saying: : 

Let Connla Ardrig give answer concerning the blood of 
Fearcorb. But before Baal had passed through two divisions 
of his house Deigonac (Feb.) Connla Ardrig sickened, and 
wasting away he died. He is called Connla Croideceallgac, on 
account of the deceit and treachery of his heart. 





XI. Book. X. Chapter. Reign of Oilliol son of Melgat 
twenty-five years 180 to 155 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 80. Age of the world 4758. Under 
the name Oilliol Caisfiacalac. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





After the death of Connla when the assembly of Laigean 
convened on the Bruiteine of Magnas they elected Oilliol son 
of Melgat king over Laigean. At this juncture the curriers 
went through Errion saying: Let the kings, princes, chief- 
tains, ollavs, and the tribunes of the people, come together in 
the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect Ardrig for the 
throne is vacant. When the general assembly sat the first ses- 
sion, they elected Oilliol son of Melgat king of Laigean Ardrig. 
But in truth Daire king of Ullad did not lift his hand in favor 


796 


of either of them from Mumain or from Laigean, his care was 
to safeguard the peace of Ullad and Ultonnmact. Oilliol went 
forth to Liafail, and the Ardcromfear placed the eisaon on 
his brow, and the royal robe on his shoulders, and he returned 
to the high-chamber. The writings were read according to usage, 
and on closing the great portals of the high chamber they 
celebrated the feast of Teacmor and games of contest on the 
field of Tabarta. After finishing each session of the conven- 
tion according to usage, the heralds proclaimed: Stands any 
one on Tabarta demanding justice? But no voice replied, and 
each went to the stronghold of their dwellings. The mind 
and aspirations of Ojilliol Ardrig are inclined to peace and its 
fruition for his vitality and body were weak. Although Daire 
king of Ullad was very aged, his intellect, mind and percep- 
tions were sharp, bright, enterprising. 

He had a desire to abdicate the title of king of Ullad, there- 
fore when the assembly of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine 
of Aodmagnmaca he arose saying: O princes and freeborn sons 
of Ullad permit my ear to listen to the musical voice of the 
harp, and to the minstrels chanting the poems and the stories 
of ancient days, in order that a younger head than Daire may 
rule. The assembly arose as one man and answered as with 
a single voice: What doth Daire desire but the peace and hap- 
piness of Ullad? Canst not thou listen to the voice of the 
harp as long as thou livest with the ear of a king? Daire ex- 
pressed his grateful thanks to them. Now when Daire had 
_ ruled five and three score years Naoinan the Ardollam died. 
When the ollavs held their conference they elected Meascar 
Ardollav of Ullad. Now after Daire king of Ullad had ruled 
three score and twelve years he expired, and all Ullad gathered 
around Aodmagnmaca with weeping and great lamentation. 

They bore the weight of Daire to Dunsoberce, and they 
constructed his carn close to the carn of Eocaid Ollav Fodla. 
He was surnamed by the children of the land “Daire Eagnac 
Moltac.” When the assembly of Ullad convened on the Brui- 
teine of Aodmagnmaca they elected Ros son of Concobar the 
first born son of Daire, king over Ullad. Ros walks in the 
footsteps of his race, he loves peace justice and truth, after 
a rule of five years he died, and when the assembly of Ullad 











197 


convened on the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca they elected Fionn 
his brother king over Ullad. When Fionn had ruled two years 
he died. When the assembly of Ullad came to session on the 
Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca they elected Concobar king over 
Ullad. In the twenty-ninth year of the reign of Oilliol Ardrig 
Iber king of Mumain expired. When the assembly of Mumain 
convened on the Bruiteine they elected Adamaer son of Fear- 
corb king over Mumain Adamaer married the daughter of 
Strom of the royal race of Ultonnmact. The sons of Er did 
not view this with favor, for Ros said: Now the rapid riders 
of Mumain will drive cattle, and their warriors will overrun 
the fair fields of Errion. True were the words of Ros. In these 
days the curriers went forth in Errion summoning together the 
kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and tribunes of the people, to 
the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, in the twenty-fifth year 
of the reign of Oilliol Ardrig, when the general assembly of 
Errion came into session, Adamaer declared that he would cer- 
tainly take eric and revenge of the sons of Melgat for the blood 
of his father! Ros spoke to the ear of Meirt king of Ultonn- 
mact that he should stay Strom from ordering the Danaans 
to aid Adamaer. When the assembly had finished according 
to usage they left Teacmors Adamaer dispatched rapid riders 
through Mumain saying: Order the comlanns without delay, , 
and Strom arrayed the Danaan, and they marched together to 
Ceiosiol (Cashel), and Ardrig arrayed the army of Laigean 
against Adamaer, when they came face to face with their 
forces, he commanded the heralds to say: Whither goeth ~ 
forth Adamaer when even the bees remain within? Adamaer 
replied: The bees indeed go forth to extract honey from the 
blooms but not as the hunters who went to Ceas to chase the 
stag but killed a king! Adamaer goeth to Teacmor to investi- 
gate the blood of his father which was sucked by the treacherous 
weasel Connla. It is surprising that the tusk-toothed Oilliol 
did not rend his flesh asunder. Let no man stop the passage. 
The battle began on both sides but Oilliol’s army could not re- 
sist the confederated forces of Adamaer, and Oilliol fell and 
great was the slaughter and destriiction of both princes and 
Gaal that day. Adamaer and his army and Strom proceeded 


798 


straight to Teacmor but the army of the Danaan returned to 
their home in Ultonnmact. 





XI. Book. XI. Chapter. Reign of Adamaer son of Fear- 
corb king of Mumain Ardrig five years 155 to 150 B. C. (See the 
Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 80. Age of the 
world 4783. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





When the assembly of Laigean convened on the Bruiteine. 
of Magnas, they elected Eocaid son of Oilliol king over Mumain. 
Adamaer dwelt on Tabarta, the princes and nobles of Mumain 
elected him Ardrig of Errion. He desired to keep the Danaan 
attached to himself through Strom his father-in-law for he 
wedded Flaitdeas, Strom’s daughter. But Meirt the king cen- 
sured Strom sharply for the auxillaries he had already led, so 
Strom gave his pledged word that he would not in future in- 
terfere between the princes of Mumain and Laigean, : 

Now it transpired when Eocaid son of Oilliol king of Lai- 
gean ascertained the status of affairs, he collected chosen men 
of Laigean secretly, and they went by different routes as best 
they could to Iomlac, and every armed band hid in the vicinity 
of the pavilions of Ardrig. When everything was ready they 
arose suddenly and attacked Ardrig off his guard neverthe- 
less Adamaer placed himself at the head of a small band and 
they fought while a man remained alive. Every man fell about 
the tents of the king. Adamaer reigned five years complete. 
They constructed his cairn on the plain of Iomioc where he fell.

Ardrig seven years 150 to 143 B. C. (See Annals of the king- 
dom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 80. Age of the world 4788. Under 
the name of Eocaid Altleathan.) 





Eocaid went quickly to Teacmor Tabarta, and entered the 
king’s palace. He dispatched the curriers through Errion sum- 
moning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and the tribunes. 
of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect 
an Ardrig. But there came no kings, princes nor nobles to 
Teacmor except those of Laigean. Ullad would not come on 








799 


account of the iniquity of Mumain and Laigean, for the princes 
and nobles of those two kingdoms were arrayed against each 
other, and had organized the Gaal against each other as enc 
mies. Now after the death of Adamaer, when the assembly of 
Mumain convened on the Bruiteine of Brugrig they elected 
Naoieis son of Fearcorb, brother of Adamaer, king over Mu- 
main. Since it transpired that no one else came to Teacmor 
Tabarta the princes and nobles of Laigean proceeded to elect 
Eocaid as Ardrig. 

Now indeed the intellect and disposition of Eocaid Ardrig, 
was inclined to peace and ease. He wished to array himself 
so as to be resplendent with gems and jewels, and brilliant silk, 
to be in his helmet and mail of red gold, and his hair crimped, 
and long waving down over his shoulders, and in a wonderful 
cloak, the product of the weavers of Feine, Eocaid had a new 
suit for every day he sat in Teacmor Tabarta, during his reign 
of seven years. Conncobar king of Ullad said: It is well that 
this one of the sons of Iolar is given to vain dressing, for it 
is better than, treacherous strife which was usual to the rest 
of that line. When Conncobar ruled ten years in Ullad Meascar 
the Ardollav died, when the ollams held their conference they 
elected Laoi Ardollav of Ullad. What time Conncobar had 
ruled twelve years he expired, and when the assembly of Ullad 
convened on the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca they elected Cor- 
mac his son, king over Ullad. Now in the seventh year of the 
reign of Eocaid Ardrig the curriers went forth through Errion 
summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes 
of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta in the 
presence of Ardrig. When the general assembly sat, and when 
the feast of Teacmor, and the games of contest were celebrated 
on the field of Tabarta, Feargais, son of Beardsal, son of Aongais, 
son of Duac, son of Oilliol, son of Leogaire, son of Utgoine made 
a covenant of revolt with Naoieis king of Mumain against Eo- 
caid Ardrig, he likewise drew with him the nobles of Laigean 
and the intense cold of winter did not stay them. As soon as 
Ardrig heard of the proceedings of Feargais he sent a message 
to Concobar king of Ullad that he might inform him of the 
facts. The king called me Laoi to him and said to the chief 
of the embassy: Relate to Eocaid the words of Concobar the 


800 


son of Er: Are the Gaal Sciot but a lamb for the teeth of 
the wolf? Or but a deer to be chased by the hunters? Will 
the children of Iolar forever befoul the land with the blood of 
the people? And the embassy returned. Concobar king of 
Ullad commanded me Loaoi to write the words of the response 
for the ears of the assembly of Ullad. Feargais hastened into 
Tuatmuain, the chieftains of that land marched with him in- 
creasing his forces he marched toward the Bruiteine of Lai- 
gean under Meist. Ardrig commanded the army of Laigean and 
the comlanns of Ib-Lugad, when they stood arrayed facing 
each other Eocaid proclaimed aloud: Lo! the ravens of Mumain 
fly hither in the wake of the hawk to feast on the blood of Lai- 
gean! Feargais replied: Fear hath rendered Eocaid blind let 
him look again and he will see the eagle guiding the horseman 
to trample on the sons of Cobtac. The battle raged from the 
time Baal showed his first gleaming to the time darkness be- 
gan to fall over the round shoulders of Mullacmeist. Before 
night spread, word passed: LEocaid has fallen. The army of 
Laigean guarded the corpse of Eocaid that night, and in the 
morning when Baal came forth, they bore the weight of Eocaid 
to the summit of the Meist, and they buried him there, and 
constructed his carn, and they rolled a mighty rock to the top 
of the carn, and there erected it, they carved his name upon it: 
“Eocaid Ardrig Laoc-nasa.” Eocaid’s reign was seven years 
complete. After the fall of Eocaid Feargais marched directly 
to Magnas the Bruiteine of Laigean.

of Iolar twelve years 143 to 131 B. C. (@See Annals of the king- 
dom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 80. Age of world 4805. Under 
the name Feargais Fortamail. Also Annals of Clonmanois.) 





Now Feargais went to the Bruiteine of Laigean when Eocaid 
was killed, and the warriors stood on the Bruiteine, and raised 
Feargais on their shields, it was thus he took the title of king 
of Laigean. Then he proceeded to Tabarta where the same 
transaction was repeated, he sat on Liafail surrounded by his 
armed comlanns, it was thus he bore the title of Ardrig for 
three years, before the opening of the portals of the high-cham-

ber. When the general assembly of Errion convened Fear- 
gais sat on the throne, Concobar king of Ullad arose and 
said: O fellow rulers and freeborn sons of Errion who com- 
pose this august assembly, word has spread through Errion, 
and so has reached the ears of the king, princes, and nobles 
of Ullad, saying: Feargais son of Breadsal from Leogaire of 
the line of Iolar has taken the title to the throne of Errion 
from the hands of his armed cohorts? No voice answered that 
such was not the case. Then Concobar said: It behooves Fear- 
gaise to take his place on the dias of the king of Laigean un- 
til the kings, princes, and nobles, of Errion elect an Ardrig. 
Feargais left the throone and took his place on the dias of the 
king of Laigean. The Ardollav said: The throne of Ardrig 
is vacant. Concobar arose and said: What if Feargais king 
of Laigean sit as Ardrig? And it was sv. 

Feargais indeed went forth to Liafail, the Ardcromfear of 
Laigean placed the eisaon on his brown, and Naoieis king of 
Mumain placed the royal robe on his shoulders, and he re- 
turned and sat on the throne. The the Ardollav read the writ- 
ings of Eolus and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag publicly in 
the hearing of the assembly, when finished they went forth, and 
the great portals of the high-chamber were closed. They cele- 
brated the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the 
Campus of Tabarta. Great was the retinue of the chief mer- 
chants of the Feine who came to Tabarta at this time. But the 
fall of Eocaid Laocnasa and his princes was a sharp loss to 
them, for it was the fashion for each one of them to array him- 
self in costly vestures so as to please Eocaid Laocnasa. After 
the nine days the assembly sat the second session, and the writ- 
ing were read according to usage, and on the last day when the 
heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding 
justice? No voice responded. Each one went to the strong- 
hold of their dwelling. During every day of his rule Feargais 
fulfilled every sentence of the law and observed every practice 
of Tanasteac. 

All Errion enjoyed peace and comfort, and Feargais lived 
in peace for there were not many of the princes’ descendants 
of Cobtac alive to stir up contention against him. After he 


had reigned Ardrig for twelve years he expired.

XII. Book. I. Chapter. Reign of Aongais Tuirmeac son of 
Feargais son of Duac son of Oilliol son of Leaogaire Ardrig for 
thirty years 131 to 101. B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of 
Ireland Vol. I. Page 82. Age of world 4816.) | 





When the assembly of Laigean came together on the Brui- 
teine of Magnas, they elected Aongais son of Feargais, king 
over Laigean. He dispatched the curriers through Errion sum- 
moning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and the tribunes 
of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. - 


When the general assembly sat the first session, they elected — 


Aongais Ardrig over Errion. The Ardollav read the writings 
of Eolus and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag, and they ad- 
journed to celebrate the feast of Teacmor and the games of 
contest on the field of Tabarta. There was no such season of 
festivity since the days of Maca the queen of Ciombaot. After 


the days of the festivity, they completed each session according” 


to usage, and no one stood on Tabarta demanding justice. 

It transpired that Aongais won every heart by love for he 
was not as the sons of Iolar usually were. In the second year 
of his reign Concobar king of Ullad expired, after a rule of seven- 
teen years, and when the assembly of Ullad convened on the 
Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca, they elected Eocaid the son of 
Conncobar king over Ullad. In the first year of Eocaid’s reign 
Laoi the Ardollav died, and when the Ollams held their con- 
ference they elected Tuigseac Ardollay of Ullad. Now after 
ruling six years Aongais went on a courtly visit to Eocaid at 
Aodmagnmaca, every one vied with each other to please Aon- 
gais and he was delighted. There he made the acquaintance 
of Ruidruide son of Ros prince of Er, and they gave the hand 
of friendship to each other, Eocaid bestowed on him munif- 
icent gifts, and the disciples whom Crafteine taught the harp 
played for Aongais, accompanied with their harps Feargaire the 
sweetest singer of Ullad while he chanted the story of Maoin 
and Moriat. Aongais returned to Teacmor Tabarta. Now the 
spring was passing, and the bloom began to appear on the 
branches, and the songs of the birds were heard in the land, 
and the fishes disported in the water. Aongais went as was 
frequently his custom to the west to the waters of the land

oí Coirmac chieftain of Fobar a staunch friend of Leogaire’s 
line. Now it transpired that Aongais was given too much to 
the wine cup, he drank deeply, followed the chase, but had 
a strong passion for the maidens of the land. It happened that 
Aine Aongais’ own daughter was at this time in the tents of 
Coirmac with Mara daughter of Taos and Neirida, and Mara 
was a most beautiful blonde, after a little Aongais returned 
to Teacmor, but the beauty of Mara stood always before wher- 
ever he was. This time also dwelt Ardfear the brave son of 
Feargrim chieftain of Oir. Both Feargrim and Ardfear were 
dear to Aongais for often had Feargrim stood in the brunt of 
the battle to defent Aongais. Now Ardfear gave his affection 
and love to Aine, and pain accompanied that love for the youth 
was without hope because Aine was the daughter of a king. 
But Aine and Mara had exchanged vows of friendship forever, 
and Ardfear won Mara to his cause in the love he cherished 
for Aine, the love of his life. On a certain day when they con- 
ferred about his hopes and love, it chanced that Aongais dis- 
covered them, and privily overheard part of their conversation, 
and as he understood it they were to meet the evening of the 
following day, then Aongais softly went his way. Now Mara 
said to Aine: If Aine would go to a certain place tomorrow 
eventide at such an hour Mara has a secret for her ear? For 
Mara deemed it better that the daughter of a king should receive 


‘the word from Ardfear’s own lips. When morning came Aongais 


and his retinue went to the chase, and naught was heard at 
the tents of Coirmac but preparations for the feasting. On 
this day the hunt was in proximity to the tents of Coirmac, hav- 
ing finished the chase they sat at the banquet board, and they 
did eat and the flowing bowl passed around plenteously, and 
Aongais drank until his spirits were exalted, and while the 
hunters sat at the board he went silently and privately to the 
spot where Mara had directed Aine to be, and she had Ard- 
fear’s cloak wrapped about her. She did not wait long when 
she heard a footstep coming, and the maiden feared and she 
drew farther within the clump of bushes. But Aongais half 
frenzied with wine and passion offered violence to the maiden 
for he supposed that he held Mara in his embraces. Thus it 
was that Mara found her friend defiled and changed from what 


804 


she had been so short a time before, and Mara lifted the un- 
conscious Aine from the ground, poluted by him whose duty 
it was to guard her! As soon as she was able Aine told the 
shameful story to Mara. Now lo the name of Ardfear was as 
a hateful poison to both. The following morning when she 
came not to the table, Litta wife of Coirmac went to see where 
they were. The women in waiting said she needs still a quiet 
sleep, and Litta came a second time, and Mara told the whole 
matter. So Litta posted after the hated Ardfear, and found 
the youth, when Ardfear heard the ugly words he wondered, 


and he could not look Litta in the countenance, and she de-. 


tested him and left the place where he was. After a little Ard- 
fear said to himself I will go to Mara, and she will tell me 
what it was Litta meant. So he went quickly, and he found the 
maiden sitting in Litta’s pavilion and Aine folded in her arms. 
When she beheld the youth she screamed as one awakening 
from an evil dream, and fell into a faint, and Ardfear remained 
standing like a tree shot by lightning when Baal speaks in an- 
ger to the children of the earth, and Litta came to the pavillion 
when she heard Mara’s scream. As Ardfear leaped to raise them 
from the ground they cried out as though a wolf had bounded 
in among them. Litta said to the youth: I supposed you had 
fled to your father’s tents, no longer defiling the habitations of 
Coirmac; here there is no welcome for such as you, after a little 
the vengeance of the king will fasten its resistless gasp on you 
O treacherous Ardfear. Ardfear replied: Whether his life is 
long or short Ardfear cares not, nevertheless it is not meet 
to put injustice upon him! He swears by Baal, Re, and Trans- 
nasc, that he knows not the reason for Litta’s anger, nor the 
cause of the maiden’s fears. You know not, said Litta, fierce 
with anger. Was it not you who violated Aine last night? Is 
not that reason íor Litta’s anger, and the cause for the maiden’s 
fear, as well as the king’s vengeance? Listen O Litta, and Mara 
and the beautiful Aine! Ardfear is as innocent of what Litta 
says as is Litta herself! Ardfear would consider his life well 
spent if he could earn the favor of Aine. Would it be possible 
then for Ardfear to offer violence to the daughter of Ardrig? 
Do not entertain a thought so grave against the son of Fear- 
grim! I will go the length of the land to track the criminal, 





805 


until I deprive him of his detestable life as eric for this un- 
speakable deed. The maidens became more quiet, and Ard- 
fear went forth to wreak vengeance. 

Litta attended on Aine, and Mara went forth, and she heard 
a person walking behind her, and turning behold the king! 
And Aongais filled Mara with wonder, by whispering to her 
of the delight he had with her in the clump of bushes. Mara’s 
eyes pierced the very spirit of Aongais as she replied: The un- 
fortunate Aongais will enjoy peace no more, the father has 
outraged his own daughter! Aongais stood as if rooted to the 
spot. He said: If Mara would but stay with her: My child 
is innocent of this hateful deed! Aongais returned quickly 
to Teacmor Tabarta and shut himself up within it. But in 
due time Aine became pregnant, and bore a male child. Aongais 
sent Leotar his chief steward to bring the child unto him: And 
the king commanded: Bring him to Binnadair and cast him to 
the sea, but the sea was more merciful than man for the in- 
fant came free from the waves, and they knew him by his costly 
wrappings, and they bore him to Teacmor Tabarta. When 
Aongais heard what had transpired he sent to the Ardcrom- 
fear saying: Let many of the cromfir be assembled: And 
Aongais narrated to them the whole story saying: What saith 
the servants of Baal the highest? And the Ardcromfear an- 
swered: Give the infant here and leave him, and go thy way, 
what time the cromfir shall hear the word of Baal the highest, 
they will speak to thee. And it was so. After a time Aongais 
came demanding the word of Baal: The Ardcromfear said: 
This infant was born of the earth without love of Father or 
mother, for this reason he shall be called “Fuaddac.” He was 
parted from the breast as he sucked the nipple, pitched into 
the rough sea, and cast from the bosom of the ocean back again 
to earth. The infant hath been purified, let him be again put 
under the care of his mother’s breast, he shall be no more called 
“Fuadac” but “Fearmara.” In after ages even from the seed 
of this outcast infant will spring a ruler who shall rule sea and 
Jand, in which there shall be the Gaal that we know not! So 
speaketh Baal. And so his behests must be done. 

So Aongais sent the infant to Aine, and she fondled the 
infant to her bosom. Aine and Mara dwelt in the tents of 


806 


Coirmac with Litta. In the seventh year of the reign of Aon- 
gais Naoises king of Mumain expired, when the assembly of 
Mumain convened on the Bruiteine of Brugrig, they elected 
Adamaer his son, king over Mumain. When Eocaid king of 
Ullad had reigned seven years he expired. When the assembly 
of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca, they 
elected Ruidruide, son of Ros from Fomar son of Airgeadmor 
king over Ullad. In the second year of his reign, he went 
with his retinue under full sail to Cruiten Tuath, where he re- 
mained a quarter. As the king sat in his chamber in Aodmagn- 
maca, and I, Tuigseac Ardollav of Ullad near, he said to me: 
I spent two divisions among the children of Feotar. I examined 
them they are unlike the children’ of Errion. We are impres- 
sive, sweet for address, fluent, like the mountain torrent we 
swell quickly and overflow, as suddenly subsiding. We are too 
variable. We shed showers of tears at the story of some pitiful 
case, but will commit a deed more cruel than the one over 
which we had wept. The children of Cruiten are not such, 
they are plodding, heavy of speech, and multiplying rapidly. 
They relate how their forbears came from a land almost under 
water on all sides, how they came through forest and marsh 
following the going of the sun until they touched this land in 
the days of Eocaid son of Fearmor son of Airgeadmor king of 
Ullad as it is written in the book of Chronicles of Errion. But 
concerning the manner and the time of these events their know- 
ledge is vague for they have no divisions of seasons nor Chroni- 
cles in the written word. 

Their lack of knowledge is great, their bodies strong, their 
spirits brave. It behooves Errion to take care lest the land 
of Cruiten contest with her. Ullad and Ultonnmact are in 
peace and contentment. Ruadruide walks as his race, he con- 
firms the spirits of the youth. At this time it transpired that 
the boy Fearmara had grown to man’s estate, and Ardrig loved 
him more than he loved Eunda the son whom his wife Aine 
daughter of Aongais prince of Laigean bore him. Ardrig in 
company with Fearmara came to Aodmagnmaca, and he pre- 
sented the brave warrior to Ruadruide king of Ullad, and he 
asked of the king a division of the land of the Firgneat as an 
estate for Fearmara, and he dwelt in Aodmagnmaca, but Aon- 


807 


gais Ardrig returned to Teacmor Tabarta, and he died there, 
after a reign of thirty-two years. 





XII. Book. II. Chapter. Reign of Conngaal Ardrig six years 
101 to 94 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland Vol. I 
Page 82. Age of world 4876. Also Ogigia and Annals of Clon- 
macnois.) 





After the death of Aongais when the assembly of Laigean 
met on the Bruiteine of Magnas, they elected Conngaal son of 
Idirsceul son of Feargais king over Laigean. At this juncture 
the curriers went forth through Errion summoning the kings, 
princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, to the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect Ardrig. When the 
general assembly of Errion sat they elected Conngaal Ardrig 
over Errion. He went forth to Liafail, and received the eisaon 
and the royal robe from the hands of the Ardcromfear, as he 
returned he occupied the throne. The Ardollam read the writ- 
ings of Eolus and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag. They then 
adjourned, and celebrated the feast of Teacmor and the games 
of contest on the field of Tabarta. Every session of the as- 
sembly was held according to established usage. But the mind 
and ambition of Adamaer king of Mumain was against Conn- 
gaal, for he wished himself the title of Ardrig. Now in the 
fifth year of his reign Conngaal dispatched curriers through 
Errion summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and 
tribunes of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. 
What time the general assembly had convened on Tabarta, 
Adamaer had organized a conspiracy and conflict against Conn- 
gaal, and marched on Teacmor with his panoplied comlanns. 
Ardrig marched with his army to meet him, they met on the 
plains of Almuin and arrayed the battle, and Conngaal fell and 
his army was cut to pieces. 





XII. Book. III. Chapter. Reign of Adamaer ot the line of 
Tber seven years 94 to 87 B.C. (See Annals of the kingdom of 
Ireland Vol. I. Page 82. Age of world 4881. Under the name 
of Adamaer mac Seadmuine.) 


808 


Now Adamaer son of Naoieis from Adamaer of the line of 
Iber made no delay but marched directly to Teacmor. He 
pitched his tents on Tabarta, and was elected Ardrig in the 
midst of his armed comlanns. When the assembly of Laigean 
met on the Bruiteine of Magnas they elected Eunda son of 
Aongais Tuirmeac king over Laigean. In the twenty-ninth 
year of the reign of Ruadruide in Ullad, Tuigseac the Ardollav 
died. When the ollavs sat in conference, they elected Treun- 
leur Ardollam of Ullad. It transpired that Eunda was princely 
and greathearted to every one but Ardrig. He withheld “not 
his hand from constantly stirring up against Ardrig. He strove © 
his best to turn Ruidruide against Adamaer but in vain, for 
indeed Ruadruide rebuked him sharply, still he rested not, but 
the army of Laigean could not resist the comlanns of Mumain 
unless the latter were divided, for some of the chieftains fol- 
lowed the house of Duac, and they the ones who lead the bravest 
warriors of Mumain. Now it happened that Adamaer’ was dis- 
posed to strife and war, and he gave a taste of the strong hand 
to the nobles who favored Eunda, and without delay Eunda 
made a covenant of revolt against Adamaer. . 

Now Eunda marched upon Adamaer unawares. Adamaer 
massed some troops as quickly as possible and went forth 
to meet him, and he commanded the heralds: Say in the 
hearing of Eunda: Let Eunda show himself to Adamaer in the 
presence of the Gaal. But Eunda did not follow in the foot- 
steps of the heralds. They arrayed the comlanns on either side 
and commenced the engagement, but indeed the army of Ardrig 
was too few, one against twenty, notwithstanding Adamaer 
fought while he was able to raise his arm, and as the darkness 
of night fell over the land, they bore him to his tent, and before 
the first gleam of Baal in the morning, Adamaer was dead. 

They built his cairn over the tent where he expired, and 
they piped his death cry, but the warriors chanted his war-song.. 
Adamaer reigned full seven years. 





XII. Book. IV. Chapter. Reign of Eunda begotten of Aine 
son of Aongais Tuirmeac from Duac of the line of Iolar, ten 
years 87 to 77 B. C. (See Annals of the kingdom of Ireland 
Vol. I. Page 82. Age of world 4888. Also in Annals of Clon- 
macnois.) 


809 


Aíter the death oí Adamaer, when the assembly oí Mumain 
met on the Bruiteine of Brugrig, they elected Geinadamaer the 
king’s son, king oí Mumain. But when the general assembly 
of Errion convened in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
they elected Eunda son of Aongais king of Laigean Ardrig over 
Errion. After reading the writings the first session, they cele- 
brated the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the 
campus of Tabarta, in the second and third sessions, the Ardol- 
lav read the tract of the laws and the book of Chronicles of 
Errion. And the heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on Ta- 
barta demanding justice? But no voice answered. Now there 
was no king up to this time so munificent, bountiful, anl plen- 
teous as Eunda Ardrig, but it is a pity that he permits his 
courtiers to transgress the law, if any one indicted them the 
king shielded them. 

In like manner he permitted the persecution of the princes of 
the house of Gialcad, and though Eunda was on the road of in» 
justice he would not return, instead of peace and justice he 
distributed gifts of magnificence to the people. Many of the 
chieftains began to follow Criobtan the fearless of the line of 
Gialcad, who had promised them much. Criobtan marired Bio- 
rat the daughter Aongais prince of Mumain. It transpired in 
the tenth year of the reign of Eunda that the curriers went forth 
through Errion summoning the general assembly of Errion to 
the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, at this juncture also 
the questors went through the land, and levied deeply saying: 
We will seize eric where we can. Criobtan spoke to the king 
but he remained deaf to the remonstrance. For this reason 
Criobtan sent word from ear to ear through Errion. The com- 
lanns were arrayed in the land. The forces of Eunda and Criob- 
tan met on Cluan Daire. His dignity and munificence was no 
aid to Eunda in the battle. It was a dread-inspiring day, the 
dead lay pitched over each other in mighty heaps all over the 
meadowland, and Eunda fell in their midst. He reigned ten 
years. 





XII. Book. V. Chapter. Reign of Craobtan son of Feilmid 
son of Eocaid from Melgat son of Giolcad of the line of Iolar, 
Ardrig three years 77 to 74 B. C. (See Annals of kingdom of 


810 


Ireland Vol I. Page 84. Age of world 4908. Under the name 
of Craomtan Cosgrac.) 





Already the curriers had given the summons, what time the 
general assembly of Errion sat in the first session they elected 
Craobtan king of Laigean Ardrig over Errion. 

“He went out to Liafail, and the Ardcromfear placed the 
eisaon on his brow. They then celebrated the feast of Teacmor 
and the games of contest on the campus of Tabarta, and ob- 
served the forms of every session according to ancient usage. 
Now Criobtan made a royal progress through Mumain with an. 
armed retinue numerous enough for an army, though he pro- 
fessed that it was for the purpose of the chase he went, he 
earnestly stirred up envy between the princes and nobles of 
Mumain and Laigean. Already Ruidruide ruled five and forty 
years in Ullad, though learned and wise as any of the race, 
though he strengthened the intellects of the youth in the uni- 
versities, nevertheless he reddened the spirit of the warriors. 
He had a prediliction for music, the chase the dance and ex- 
ploits in arms. He constructed a fortress and armory, and 
graded a plain for evolutions of the comlanns near Aodmagn- 
maca, so that the noble youths of the kingdom could learn the 
practice of arms according to the code of Seadna under his 
own eyes. The military school was famous, it filled up rapidly 
with the noble youth of the land. 

Ruadruide well said let the youth be instructed in the prac- 
tice of arms, even though they need not use them. In those 
days the sound of the tumult and exploits of Criobtan forced 
themselves on the ear of Ruadruide. He prepared a great feast, 
and invited the princes, and the chieftains, and the tribunes of 
the people, and the free-born warriors, and said to them; bring 
your sons who wear the open robe, when the banquet ended 
they convened in the drill-room of the armory, but the youths 
remained on the exercise-grounds, and the king arose from his 
dias and said: What time Calma left Iber of our forbears (Tu- 
bal near Caucassus) he chose for himself a number of com- 
panions, and in like manner did Ronard when he followed his 
brother. What if Breadsal my first born son, and his eight 
brothers select as Calma did each for himself a society of com- 





811 


panions to be joined to him in the rough way of war if there 
be need? That the noble association be: “The royal knights 
of Ullad?” And it was so. The nine valliant sons of Ruadruide 
king of Ullad went forth, and each selected a hundred of likeliest 
and bravest youths to be found. And after the choice Ruadruide 
the king and the princes and the nobles came out, and formed 
a great circle round about, the king stood in the midst and 
said: It is a long time since Ullad cast the blood stained spear 
of war? Although Ullad is inclined to peace, Mumain and 
Laigean are ready to thrust the horrors of carnage upon her, 
but they fear her valor. The Gaal of Cruiten spread out be- 
fore us. They have a free permit to come and go. They still 
remember the slaughter and fall of the comlanns which came 
with Duac. In like manner their queen Aine was a daughter 
of Laigean! If war comes the princes will no longer fight 
around the king, each one must fight at the head of his own 
comlanns, but the royal knights of Ullad today chosen will 
fight around the king! And for the future this will be the 
established practice in Ullad: Every noble youth of the land 
will spend the three years preceding the assumption of the 
open cloak, in the military school, so that he may learn the 
practice of.arms and the tactics of war according to the code 
of Seadna. In order that the work of this day be placed on a 
lasting foundation: Let the king and this Curatii (i. e. com- 
pany of knights) take oath publicly, by Baal, by Re, and by 
Tarsnasc. And the king repeated first: 


I will not surrender to any of three. 

I will comfort in time of peace, and 

Aid in battle every knight of this company. 
I will chastise pride and injustice. 

I will shield the weak from injury. ° 


Each member raised his right hand and swore the same oath, 
as the king. Maol the chieftain of Rathbot said: What name 
will we give the royal Curatii of Ullad? The king answered: 
Why not call the companions of the king: “Clanna Ruadruide.” 
when the assembly heard, they clashed shields and shouted nine 
times: “Clanna Ruadruide.” 

Now it transpired that Criobtan Ardrig continually kept 


. 812 


Mumain and Laigean in turmoil, his hand was always on the 
hilt of his sword, he took pride in the nickname given him: 
Casgart. In the third year of the reign of Croibtan, prior to the © 
going forth of the curriers to summon the general assembly 
to the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, the questors of Lai- 
gean came into Ullad, and they drove off herds from the land, 
word came to the king. Ruadruide wrote letter to Croibtan 
saying: Hath Ardrig heard that a spoil hath been driven from 
the land of Ullad, which the thieves call “cios?” Criobtan an- 
swered by the mouth of the same messenger: The king*know- 
eth. Ruadruide sent a messenger a second time with letters 
saying: Let Ardrig answer before the general assembly of 
Errion when Ullad shall place an indictment against him. Criob- 
tan replied not a word to the message. Ruadruide dispatched 
a herald to say in the hearing of Criobtan: When Ruadruide 
comes to Teacmor he will march at the head of his comlanns, 
and Criobtan replied to the herald in mockery: Is the withered 
branch-of the root of Er sprouting forth bloom? 

The noise of preparation for war was heard through Errion, 
and Ejisgair king of Ultonnmact massed his army, and he sent 
swift riders to Aodmagnmaca to ascertain whither he should 
repair with his forces. Ruadruide replied to Eisgair: Let Eis- 
gair and the nobles of Ultonnmact march to Tabarta there to 
meet Ruadruide. Criobtan collected the comlanns from Mu- 
main and Laigean, and massed them at Magnas, thence the con- 
federated forces marched for Ullad. But the army of Ullad had 
progressed a half day’s march beyond the Buideaman when it 
came in view of the allied armies of Ardrig. When the armies 
formed in array for battle, Ruadruide commanded the heralds: 
proclaim in hearing of all: Come forth O Criobtan and see if 
the withered branch of the line of Er puts forth bloom? As 
soon as Criobtan heard the word he sprung like a hound for the 
course, and Ruadruide bestrode his war horse Mactire, formerly 
Tonn until on a day the king clove down a great wolf with a 
cast of his spear, since then he was called Mactire. 

Ruadruide saw Criobtan on foot, and he lit from his charger 
saying: What matters it if my arms has the age of three score 
and fifteen, never the less it will not be said that I sought ad- 
vantage of any kind. The “Clanna Ruadruide”’ watched the 








$13 


king. They fought; Craobtan wrathfully and fierce, but Ruad- 
ruide keen, expert and cool, and Craobtan sank into death. Then 
Ruadruide commanded the heralds: say publicly: The cul- 
prit hath attoned his transgression, let us march to Teacmor. 
Craobtan ruled three years complete, he is surnamed “Craobtan 


Casgairt.” 





XII. Book. VI. Chapter. Reign of Ruadruide the great 
seven years 74 to 67 B. C. (See Annals of kingdom of Ireland 
Vol. I. Page 84. Age of world 4912.) 





The army of Ullad came to Tabarta like the waves of a de- 
luge, and pitched their tents on the plain underlying Tabarta, 
for Ruarduide said: No Armed warrior must stand on Ta- 
barta. When the general assembly of Errion sat in the first ses- 


_ sion they called upon Ruadruide that he should sit Ardrig. But 


he replied: No, not so, is not the seat of the king of Laigean 
empty? Not many of the nobles fell for Ruadruide stayed the 
combatants. Therefore the assembly adjourned until they 
should elect a king of Laigean. The assembly of Laigean met 
on the Bruiteine of Magnas, and they elected Eismion Aines 
son of Eunda son of Aongais Tuirmeac, king over Laigean. 
Now when Baal was in the second night of his last division of 
Fluicim the general assembly of Errion sat in the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta, and they elected Ruadruide as with on 
voice, Ardrig. But before he took his place on the throne the 
heralds said: The Ardcromfear stands at the vestibule of the 
high-chamber to conduct Ardrig to Liafail. To which Ruad- 
ruide replied: There are words written on the book of Eocaid 
Ollav Fodla whence I am descended: The memory of two 
things give me pain: The fall of Noid, and that I sat:on Lia- 
fail! whenever these things in future shall be associated with 
my name say: That I did them in my youth. From that time 
not a son of the line of Er went forth to Liafail,indeed Ruiadruide 
will not go! But he said let Breadsal his son, go and invite 
the cromfir to the feast. 

After reading the writings of Eolus and the book of Chron- 
icles of Gaalag, the assembly went forth, and celebrated the 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the campus of 


814 


Tabarta. Great was the joy and hearts delight on Tabarta and 
its vicinity because that a prince of Er again sat Ardrig. Each 
session was finished according to ancient usage. No one stood 
on Tabarta demanding justice. When the assembly dissolved, 
Ruadruide set out for Aodmagnmaca, he left Breadsal the heir 
apparent at Teacmor. Now it transpired that Ros son of 
Ruadruide married Alita daughter of Eisgair king of Ultonn- 
mact to conduct Eisgair to Aodmagnmaca what time the king, 
princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, were as- 
sembled on the Bruiteine at Aodmagnmaca. The kin& arose 
and said: Two hundred and thirty-eight years have elapsed 
since Ciombaot and Maca founded Aodmagnmaca, from that 
day a member of the sons of Er have not presided at Tabarta, 
they left to Mumain and to Laigean to do good or evil as they 
chanced to be disposed. But there is no more similarity be- 
tween Iber and Iolar than there is between the hawk and the 
owl: The children of Iber are vain and frivolous, loving music 
and the dance, they esteem not science, but they are brave, well- 
spoken, munificent. But the children of Iolar are dark, melan- 
choly, deceitful, they think forsooth because Iolar was Ermion 
they should rule Errion forever. In the kingdom of Laigean 
the Ardcromfear prevails more even than the king. 2 

In Mumain all follow the poets and the minstrels, a prince 
of Mumain asked me one day: Does not Cruiten Tuath lie 
to the west of Ultonnmact? 

Knowledge in Laigean is not much more advanced, still 
they possess the talent of silence. Had not Ultonnmact stood 
so staunchly by Ullad, the sons of Iolar would have subjected 
all Errion to tribute. Eismion Aine also wedded the daughter 
of Brandt chief of the Feotar, should Eismion Aine and Brandt 
make da covenant, Ullad would be between two enemies, be- 
cause of these conditions it behooves Ullad and Ultonnmact 
to be watchful. Therefore: What if the king of the Danaan 
and eight representative nobles sit here among the princes and 
nobles of Ullad to confer and raise the right hand? And it 
was so. The king said: Let Eisgair king of Ultonnmact be 
conducted hither and Ruadruide went to the door of the cham- 
ber to meet Eisgair, and accompanied him to his dias at the 
side of the table opposite the king of Ullad. Then the Ardollav 


ee 


815 


read the words of Ruadruide regarding the Danaan. Eisgair 
king of Ultonnmact arose and said: O fellow rulers as long as 
Eisgair shall live he will remember this. courtesy. 

The words of this transaction were inscribed as a practice 
of Tanasteac. The writings were read from day to day, and 
the assembly did not dissolve for a month. In like manner 
the “Clanna Ruadruide” assembled and celebrated the pursuit 
and retreat of the enemy, and all the manoeuvres and tactics 
and strategems of the battle according to the code of Seadna. 
Ruadruide safeguarded Errion in peace and plenty, for the tract 
of the laws of Errion obtained in every department. What 
time he had ruled with goodness, wisdom, and justice, for fifty- 
five years in Ullad, but seven years as Ardrig over Errion, he 
sickened and died. They built his carn by request in Cluaineac 
beside the cairn of Airgeadmor nigh unto Dunsoberce. All 
Ullad mourned him calling him Ruadruide the Great.

As soon as word came to Teacmor that Ruadruide was dy- 
ing, Breadsal set out quickly for Aodmagnmaca. When the 
princes and nobles assembled on the Bruiteine of Aodmagn- 
maca they elected Breadsal king of Ullad. It transpired be- 
fore the curriers went forth to summon the kings, princes, ollavs, 
and tribunes of the people, to sit in the high-chamber of Teac- 
mor, that Geinadamaer came to Aodmagnmaca and related 
many things to Breadsal regarding Eismion Aine king of Lai- 
gean. He likewise disclosed to Breadsal king of Ullad that 
he desired very much to occupy the throne of Errion. Bread- 
sal replied: Be it as thou sayest O Geinadamaer! By reason ' 
of this consultation, when the general assembly sat the first 
session, the Ardollav announced: The Throne is vacant what 
is your will? Eisgair king of Ultonnmact arose saying: What 
if Geinadamaer king of Mumain occupy the throne of Errion 
as Ardrig? Ullad and Ultonnmact and Mumain raised their 


816 


right hands, and Geinadamaer was elected Ardrig, he did not 
go forth to Liafail, Breadsal king of Ullad placed the eisaon 
on his brow, and Eisgair king of Ultonnmact the royal robe 
on his shoulders. After reading the writings of Eolus and the 
book of chronicles of Gaalag, they went forth and celebrated 
the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the campus 
of Tabarta, and they completed each session according to an- 
cient usage. The heralds proclaimed: Stands any one on Ta- 
barta demanding justice? but no voice answered. In the third 
year of his reign he rode to the chase, it happened that his 
mount put his foot in a badger’s hole, and Geinadamaer was 
pitched over the animal’s head, and died instantly for his neck 
was broken. I

Ireland Vol. 1. Page 84. Age oí world 4991. Under the name 
Breadsal Boidiobad. Also Annals of Clonmacois.) 





When the assembly of Mumain sat on the Bruiteine at Brug- 
tig, they elected Lugad son of Geinadamaer to succeed his 
father as king of Mumain. The curriers went forth through 
Errion, summoning the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs, and 
tribunes of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor Ta- 
barta as the assembiy of Errion for the throne is vacant. The 
general assembly came in full attendance, and they elected 
Breadsal king of Ullaa Ardrig, though he was not a candidate 
for the honor, for many of the princes and the nobles were 
opposed to Eismion Aine saying: Is he not half a Gaal of 
Feotar? Therefore they would not show their hands for him, 
but unanimously elected Breadsal. Breadsal did not go forth 
to Liafail, Lugad king of Mumain placed the eisaon on his 
brow, and Eisgair king of Ultonnmact placed the royal robe 
on his shoulders. The Ardollav then read the writings of 
Eolus, and the book of Chronicles of Gaalag, and they went 
forth to celebrate the feast of Teacmor and the games of con- 
test on the campus of Tabarta, and they carried out every ses- 
Sion according to ancient usage. 

The assembly dissolved and the members wended their way

to the lands of their strongholds. Now in those days the land 
of Errion was fortunate for profound peace and contentment 
obtained, there was an abundance of products on the face of 
the land, the grazing lands dotted with flocks and herds, the 
very peasant thralls had silver and gold in plenty for the voice 
of the merchants of the Feine was heard in the land, bartering 
prices for cattle and oxen, for sheep, for wheat, barley, oats, 
for flax and wool, but especially anxious for the purchase of 
horses for they were large, swift, and strong. The merchants 
pay the price in goods or in the current money. 

In the third year of the reign of Breadsal, Treunleur the 
Ardollav died, and when the ollavs held their conference. they 
elected Muimtir Ardollav of Ullad. During all the days while 
Breadsal was Ardrig the shield of peace was raised over Er- 
rion. Now in the sixth year of the reign of Breadsal Ardrig, 
it transpired that a cattle plague came upon the land so that 
more than two-thirds of the flocks and herds died. It was diffi- 
cult for the Gaal to put them under ground lest they taint the 
air, they died in such numbers, the plague seemed to invade 
every kingdom in Errion, so great was the destruction and 
.loss that Breadsal prohibited the collecting of tribue for Ard- 
rig. What time Breadsal had reigned twelve years king of 
Ullad and nine years Ardrig over Errion he expired.

(See Annals of kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 86. Age of 
world 5002. Under name of Lugad Luigne. Also Annals Clon- 
macnois.) | 





After Breadsal’s death, when the assembly of Ullad came 
to the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca, they elected Conngaal son 
of Breadsal king of Ullad. Then the curriers went forth through 
Errion summoning the kings, chieftains, ollams, and the tri 
bunes of the people, to the high-chamber of Teacmor to sit as 
the general assembly of Errion. During the first session they 
elected Lugad king of Mumain Ardrig, he went forth to Lia- 
fail and when he returned he took his place upon the throne. 
The Ardollam read the writings of Eolus, and the book of 


818 


Chronicles of Gaalag, then they went forth to celebrate the 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the campus of 
Tabarta. Every session of the convention was carried out ac- 
cording to ancient usage. No one stood on Tabarta demand- 
ing justice. Then the assembly adjourned each member going 
to his own stronghold (deagdun). It came to pass that Lugad 
Ardrig married Measace daughter of Craobtan formerly Ard- 
rig. A whisper ran through Errion: That there was a covenant 
between Iber and Iolar to the effect that they should each in 
turn reign Ardrig forever. It is said the cause of the covenant 
was: That the king of Ultonnmact and the nobles of the Dan- 
aan sat in the assembly of Ullad in Aodmagnmaca. In the 
fifth year of the reign of Lugad when the general assembly of 
Errion sat in Tabarta Conngaal came and held a conference 
with Lugad in my Muintir’s presence saying to him: Take 
care O son of the Horseman against the sharp talons of the 
Eagle, place no hope in the appearances of things. Lugad re- 
plied: O Congaal the valiant heart knows no quakings, neither 
should the warrior take envy at every tongue that stirs. After 
that Congaal held his peace. There was a pronounced friend- 
ship between Mumain and Laigean during the twelve years. 
of Lugad’s reign. Now a great chase and stag-hunt was or- 
ganized in the twelfth year of Lugad’s reign, and Lugad his 
hunter Ceantreun, after a great run he was overheated with 
the exercise and heat of the day, so he reined up his steed Cean- 
treun at a spring of water, dismounting he drank copiously, and 
expired almost instantly. 





XII.:Book. X. Chapter. Reign of Congaal king of Ullad 
Ardrig six years 43 to 37 B. C. (See Annals kingdom of Ire- 
land Vol. I. Page 86. Age of world 5017. Under the name 
Congaalclaroineac. Also Annals of Clonmacnois.) 





After the death of Lugad the assembly of Mumain convened, 
and elected Cairbre Lugad’s brother king of Mumain. The 
curriers went forth through Errion summoning the kings, 
princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, to the 
high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta. When the general assem- 
bly sat their first session they elected Conngaal king of Ullad 
Ardrig over Errion. 


819 

He did not go forth to Liafail. But the Ardollav read the 
writings of Eolus and the book of the Chronicles of Gaalag, 
then they went forth to celebrate the feast of Teacmor and the 
games of contest on the wide extending campus of Tabarta. 
They carried out every session according to ancient usage. 
Then the assembly dispersed to the strongholds of their dwell- 
ings. 

During the first year of his reign as Ardrig, Muintir the 
Ardollav expired. When the ollams held their conference, they 
elected Meleis Ardollam of Ullad. At this juncture Conngaal 
ascertained: That Suin son of Oilliol Aron son of Fearmara 
son of Aongais by his daughter Aine, was practicing treachery. 

The words of the indictment were so grave that it behooved 
to have the assembly of Ullad take cognisance of them. So 
Conngaal dispatched his swift riders summoning the princes, 
chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, to the Bruiteine 
of Aodmagnmaca. When the assembly came into session, 
Conngaal arose and said: O princes and worthy nobles of 
Ullad I give you gentle welcome, we have assembled here this 
day for the chieftain of largaal has words for the ear of Ullad. 
Feilmid arose and said: On a certain day Suin son of Oilliol 
Aron came to the tents of Feilmid, and he partook of food 
and drink to his desire, and he was exalted, and said: If Feil. 
mid would come to the land of Suin? So Feilmid went thither 
and dwelt there for a time and did hunt and fish in the waters 
of that land. Suin spoke in hints and half words to Feilmid. 
Then Feilmid paused, and Aod chieftain of Larne arose say- 
ing: Doth Feilmid meditate before relating the false whispers 
of Suin? Feilmid looked at Aod, and then turned to the king 
saying: Should Feilmid so far forget himself as to repeat 
publicly the words of Suin or any other guest who ate at his 
board and rested in his tent, would the king or Aod consider 
their words hereafter in the hearing of Feilmid or any of his 
line? My father taught me and I learned at the Mur-n-ollav, 
and understand from the nature of things: To betray no one! 
Therefore Feilmid will not repeat the secret words of Suin. 
Nevertheless Suin spoke in thiswise in presence of many per- 
sons, these words I feel at liberty to report if the assembly 
so wills it? On the cay when Breadsal spoke wrathfully to my 


820 


father Doncad, both are now deceased. After a while Bread- 
sal the king took the hand of Doncad saying: Can Doncad 
forgive the words of Breadsal? 

Man errs, Breadsal is only human! The rumor went forth: 
That the king was sharp with Doncad, but the kind words he 
uttered remained in the tents with us. So the words of re- 
buke circulated through the kingdom until they came even to 
the ears of Suin. He spoke to me concerning these words when 
we met in the tents of Glenadun, and with that he said: When 
Eisgair dies, Ultonnmact will become the inheritance of Ros 
for he married Alita the only child of Eisgair: Then the cham- 
ber of Aodmagnmaca will become the dog-kennel of the kings 
of Ullad. Every hope of Errion rests in the sons of Ermion. 
If Feilmid and the chieftains who favor him would speak so 
that Suin might say to Eismion and Cairbre: The most val- 
liant chieftains of Ullad are pleased to have Suin king in Ul- 
tonnmact upon the decease of Eisgair, Then will I Suin ren- 
der to Feilmid my friend and his heirs the lands of Mageintir. 
When Suin had finished I replied: Not so, but Feilmid will 
repeat the words of Suin to the ears of Conngaal, and I have 
kept my promise. Aod the chieftain of Larne arose saying: 
I affirm that Feilmid is not only just and dignified, but also - 
worthy to be chief of the race of Taosgair! And the assembly 
held a consultation, and Feilmid arose saying: What if Suin 
be summoned to answer to the words of Feilmid? And it was 
so. The knights went forth, and when they read the words to 
Suin, he said: Suin will answer to the charge in the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta, for Suin is a prince of Ermion. 
But that talk was vain and against the practice of Tanasteac, 
for it transpires that Geintir is within the kingdom of Ullad 
from the beginning, and therefore under the laws of Ullad. 
But Suin was certain that he would go free if the case was 
heard at Tabarta. As soon as Suin heard that the command 
was given for his arrest since he did not follow the heralds 
when his name was called publicly. He fled from the land of 
Aron to Laigean, and Degad his son came to Conngaal Ardrig 
to intercede for his father. Conngaal replied to Degad in my 
Melis presence saying: It will not be said against thee O Degad, 
thou dost not wish that we speak evil of the father in the son’s 


821 


hearing. The assembly of Ullad shall say what is to be done, 
but because I am silent should not be interpreted as a sign that 
your father shall go free. Conngaal was kind to the youth and 
he remained for a while at Aodmagnmaca. When he went, the 
king said to me: O Melis I believe that Degad will be more 
deceitful than Suin or any of the race of Iolar. The opinion 
was just for Degad was scheming and deceitful to all even to 
his own sire, for he filled his mind and apprehension with fear 
so that he would not return to the land of Ullad. In these 
days word came to Congaal: That Suin dwelt in Mumain 
with Cairbre the king of that realm. Congaal sent messengers 
with letters to Cairbre, saying: Indeed Cairbre was cognizant 
of the evil committed by Suin in Ullad, for which he was cited 
before the assembly of that kingdom, he should not therefore 
harbor him in Mumain. 

The messengers returned with these words of Cairbre say- 
ing: The friend of Cairbre shall enjoy his repose under the 
cover of his pavilion, whosoever annoys Suin shall make Cair- 
bre his enemy. So Conngaal assembled the Clanna Ruidruide, 
and commanded the chieftains to make ready the comlanns. 
He did not request the levy from Laigean or even from UI- 
tonnmact. The king sent heralds to Cairbre to say publicly: 
The warriors of Ullad will follow the steps of the heralds to 
bring Suin the felon a prisoner, and they marched southward, 
Cairbre likewise arrayed his forces. The two armies met in 
line on Cluan-na-Tuam. The charges of the comlanns of Ullad 
wrought terrific havoc on the army of Mumain, nevertheless 
they did not turn back. Cairbre fell by the sword of Cuir son 
of Ardfear chieftain of Rathbot, a knight of the Clanna Ruad- 
ruide. Cuir bore away the sword, and mail and shield of Cair- 
bre as a trophy of battle. But indeed Suin fled away, when 
Mumain saw that Suin fled after the fall of Cairbre the king, 
and that Suin remained intact by reason of his flight the people 
turned against him. Because of this Suin took sick and died. 
Then Congaal and the comlanns of Ullad marched back to 
Aodmagnmaca, and they hung Cairbre’s arms in the great hall 
of the Clanna Ruadruide under the shield of the son of the 
chieftain of Rathbot, but Congaal the king did not permit any 
voice of praise to Cuir. There was no noise nor shield-clashing. 


822 

When the assembly oí Mumain convened on the Bruiteine 
at Brugrig, they elected Duac son oí Cairbre king over Mu- 
main. It was not long after the death of Cairbre and Suin 
until Degad began to plot mischief in Ullad, at this juncture 
Congaal went to Teacmor and dwelt there, and appointed Fact- 
na son of Cas son of Ruadruide Mor viceroy of Ullad. The 
malignity of Degad was reported to Factna, and as soon as 
Degad thought that his conspiracy was discovered, he remained 
still to prove it to a certainty, but it transpired that a message 
came from Ardrig to Factna saying: Let Degad and every 
subject of Laigean depart from the bounds of Ullad what time 
Baal shall have passed.one quarter of this present year, taking 
with them their treasures and effects, so the heralds announced 
publicly in the land of Aron. It was thus that Degad and his 
coterie were expelled irom the kingdom of Ullad, they set out 
for Mumain and Duac the king welcomed them. Now on the 
expulsion of Degad from Ullad information came to Factna 
saying: Degad formed a conspiracy against Ullad to de- 
throne the dynasty of Er, and to set up an Ermion of his own 
line. Congaal sent an embassy to Duac saying: Let Duac 
yield up Degad that he may answer to the many evils and 
treasons he has committed according to the indictment. Duac 
replied: Though Cairbre my father fell defending Suin, Duac 
also would fall before he would yield up Degad his friend in his 
misfortune. Congaal sent another embassy to Duac saying: 
Let Duac and Degad answer in the high-chamber of Teacmor 
Tabarta: Why Degad should not be rendered up to the law? 
The general assembly sat the first session, and the writings 
were read and they went forth to celebrate the feast of Teac- 
mor and the games of contest on the campus of Tabarta. When 
the general assembly sat in the second session, Ardrig arose 
and said: O fellow-rulers and you most noble free-born sons 
of Errion when Suin of the line of Iolar from Aongais Tuir- 
meac did evil and injury against Ullad, he was cited to answer 
for his misdeeds, he fled to Mumain, and Cairbre forfeited his 
life shielding him. When Degad the son of Suin is summoned, 
Duac son of Cairbre sends word: I will not betray my friend. 
It seems a hardship that Cairbre and Duac should suffer for 
the goodness of their protection, but a much graver hardship 


823 


to summon the Gaal from peace to the horror of war? It is 
a pity that any individual should transgress and override the 
law! If Degad were here Congaal would say: If Suin was 
guilty, Degad is nine times more guilty, but when summoned 
to answer, the king of Mumain said: I will shield my friend 
against every indictment. Degad is not present if he were, 
Congaal would say: He will prove as treacherous to the house 
of Iber as he has to the line of Er. Then Ardrig said: Let 
Duac answer: Is or is not Degad in the tents ofDuac? Does 
not Duac prohibit his being delivered up? Duac replied: De- 
gad dwells in the tents of Duac, and Duac will protect all who 
there assemble. Then Ardrig said: Prior to this Ullad un- 
sheathed the sword to safe-guard the law of Errion, and marched 
with an army from one extreme of the land to the other, and 
the children of the land paid the expense which was very great, 
for every warrior of the line is paid his stipend, king Cairbre 
lost his life, many of the nobles and the Gaal, and still Duac 
remains in his reprehensible way, calling the degrading of the 
law, respect for the protection of a friend and the hospitality 
of his roof. Again Congaal demands: Will Duac deliver De- 
gad to answer to the law of Errion? Duac said: I will shield 
Degad to the end. Ardrig said: Duac declares in the hearing of 
the general assembly of Errion that he will shield Degad, and 
I Congaal affirm publicly that I will uphold the law of Errion, 
it is for this purpose, he sits a step higher than his brethern 
of the race. And since the costs should be adjudged upon the 
guilty one: What if Duac king of Mumain pay nine thousand 
cows each year until he is ready to comply with the ruling of 
the law? Duac was put to shame and he remained silent. And 
the words of the decree were recorded. Each session of the 
convention was carried out according to ancient usage. No one 
stood on Tabarta demanding justice, the assembly dissolved 
each member going to his own abiding place. 

After the lapse of one month Eismion Aine king of Laigean 
expired. When the assembly of Laigean convened on the Brui- 
teine of Magnas, they elected Roigne his son, king over Lai- 
gean. Congaal proceeded to Aodmagnmaca, and Factna dwelt 
at Tabarta. The times appear dark and troubled, although Duac 
was friend to Degad he was more morose than any of the stock 


824 


oí Iber, he inherited his disposition from his mother who was 
sprung from Iolar. Now came the time to pay the cattle-tax 
assessed to Duac as his fine, and since they were not forth- 
coming messages were dispatched to Mumain saying: Where- 
fore is not come the fine decreed by the general assembly of 
Errion? But Degad answered to that message: All the cattle 
are not yet calved, nor could the oldest of them walk that far. 
When Congaal heard the words he mobilized the comlanns. 
When they came to Eudan Daire they met the chieftain of 
Oir and a cohort and he said that the cattle were being driven 
by the herdsment on the road to Teacmor, but the king ordered 
that they be driven to Scandt the king of Ultonnmact, and it 
was so. The army returned to Ullad. The second year the 
fine came in like manner. But the third year though Degad was 
yet in Mumain no fine came, Duac answered the messengers: 
By Baal Duac’s substance will no longer be squandered on. 
Congaal’s friends. For this reason an order to mass the com- 
lanns went forth in Ullad and Laigean, on the plain of Urlann 
about Ardrig. Ardrig did not send to Scandt king of Ultonn- 
mact for he ascertained that Scandt had returned the cattle 
to Duac, for the mind of Scandt was full of envy against the 
sons of Er because Alita daughter of Eisgair was wife of Ros 
son of Ruadruide Mor. Congaal marched with his own forces, 
when he arrived at Urlann he saw the tents of a half com- 
lann (i. e. one thousand five hundred) from Laigean on the 
plain. The chieftain of Magglein came to Congaal saying: The 
weight of the army of Laigean is coming, if Ardrig would march 
to Sitdruim and await the arrival of the army of Laigean? 
Because there was no suspicion of doubt in the mind of Ardrig 
he marched according to the word of the chieftain. On the 
sixth day wait on Sitdruim, the outer guards saw the army 
of Mumain marching on their rear and the army of Laigean 
in front of them, and the comlanns of Ullad wheeled to face 
the army of Mumain, Ardrig still delayed for the coming of 
the king of Laigean, but Roigne was not in the host at all. 
It was then the commanders of the comlanns said: There is 
treachery afoot! Now when Congaal arrayed his army against 
Mumain, Laigean attacked the rear, and third of each comlann 
turned, and fought Mumain on the right and Laigean on the 


825 


left. And Congaal commanded the heralds: Call upon the 
name of Duac the offender but Duac would not come forth to 
the challenge to combat. Wherever the brunt of the battle was 
greatest there Congaal fought until he fell after receiving twelve 
wounds at the hands of the Gaal. But at the fall of Congaal 
the army of Ullad did not waver, for Rosruad son of Ros son 
of Ruadruide Mor took the place of Congaal commanding the 
comlanns. Rosruad was captain of the cohort Clanna Ruad- 
ruide, and he extricated his army from its unfavorable position 
between Mumain and Laigean, and he clove and broke the 
enemy with a mighty slaughter, and he encamped that night on 
the plain of Sithdruim. 

They interred the dead, but the army guarded the body of 
Congaal and the body of the chieftain of Ardtan, and the body 
of the chieftain of Arddeas, and the body of the chieftain of 
Larne who fell in the battle with the king. Word ran until 
Ros heard it: Shall we not seize a spoil? Ros commanded the 
heralds: proclaim through the army: The men of Ullad seize 
no spoil! And it was so. They bore the corpse of the king 
and the chiefs who fell with him and the wounded on war 
chariots to Ullad. They constructed the carn of Congaal in 
Aodmagnmaca nigh the carn of Aod. The chanted the dirge 
and sang the war song for the king cut down in battle, the 
first of the kings of Ullad since the days of Airgeadmor, three 
hundred and three years. Ullad mourned Congaal the good 
and the just calling him: “Congaal Saitcarneac.” 





XII. Book. XI. Chapter. Reign of Duac king of Mumain 
Ardrig seven years 37 to 30 B. C. (See Annals of kingdom 
of Ireland Vol. I. Page 86. Age of world 5032. Under the 
name Duac Dealta Degad. Also Ogigia III. Div. C. 42.) 





At this juncture Factna resided at Teacmor and as soon as 
he ascertained that Congaal had fallen in battle he sent his 
pavilion to Tabarta, and a messenger to Feargais son of Leid 
son of Ruadruide Mor saying: Send the eisaon and the royal 
robe of Ardrig hither, Feargais came with the messenger bring- 
ing with him the insignia of the Ardrig, they were laid upon 
the throne in the high-chamber. After entrusting the care of 


826 


the palace to the high-steward of Teacmor he and Feargais set 
out for Aodmagnmaca. When the assembly of Ullad convened 
on the Bruiteine of Aodmagnmaca, they elected Factna son of 
Ros son of Ruadruide Mor, king of Ullad. In like manner the cur- 
riers went forth through Errion, summoning the kings, princes, 
chieftains, ollams, and the tribunes of the people, to the high- 
chamber of Teacmor Tabarta to elect an Ardrig. When the 
general assembly sat the first session they elected Duac king 
of Mumain Ardrig, for the king, princes and nobles of Laigean 
inclined to Duac on account of the favor he showed Degad son 
of Suin son of Fearmara son of Oilliol Aron son of Aongais 
Tuirmeac from Leogaire of the line of Iolar. Factna dwells 
in Aodmagnmaca. Now it transpired that the mind of Scandt 
and of the line of the king of the Danaan was evil toward Ullad, 
and they would not come to the assembly of that kingdom. In 
the second year of the reign of Duac, Roigne, king of Laigean 
died. When the assembly of Laigean met on the Bruiteine of 
Magnas they elected Fionnlaoc king over Laigean. Now Roigne 
died before Baal touched larsgith, but there was no king elected 
in Laigean therefore the curriers did not go forth to summon 
the kings, princes, chieftains, ollams, and tribunes of the people, 
to Teacmor Tabarta. Neither does Ardrig dwell in Teacmor. 
So the appointed period for the convention of the kings, princes, 
and nobles passed by and Tabarta was lonely. Factna took 
no action in the matter more than to record the matter in the 
‘book of Chronicles of Ullad. In the third year of the reign of 
Duac it transpired that Degad arrived at the age required by 
Tanasteac, then Duac set out for Teacmor and left Degad vice- 
roy in Mumain. Now Scandt king of Ulttonnmact was child- 
less, and Degad gave Bageala his sister as wife to Allat of the 
royal race of the Danaan. Nor did Degad rest night nor day 
but inciting the Danaan against Ullad, and arranging his 
schemes to be ready against the decease of Scandt. Fionnlaoc 
king of Laigean was as one with Iber, whatever Duac ordered 
Fionnlaoc did, but Duac did what Degad suggested, and while 
Duac fondly believed that he was establishing his dynasty on 
every side so that he and his line would be rulers over Errion 
forever, every one but Duac alone understood, that Degad was 
playing him sorely false and laboring to elevate Iolar and pull 


827 


Iber down. Though Duac had ruled five years nevertheless 
no curriers went forth to summon the kings, princes, ollavs, 
chieftains, and tribunes of the people, to Teacmor Tabarta. 
What time Baal entered into his house Blath the sixth year 
of the reign of Duac, Factna king of Ullad called together the 
assembly of Ullad to Aodmagnmaca, and he sent heralds out 
through the length of the kingdom saying: Let the Clanna 
Ruadruide be in their hall when the assembly of Ullad shall 
sit at Aodmagnmaca. When the assembly came to session the 
Clanna Ruadruide were in their quarters. The king arose and 
said: Though the king and nobles of Ultonnmact are not present 
according to the word of the law, nevertheless this chamber is 
not sufficiently large, perhaps it is not permissable that the 
Clanna Ruadruide should enter hither, and in like manner per- 
haps it is not permissable that this assembly should sit in the 
armory of the Clanna Ruadruide? For this reason what if 
the assembly of Ullad and the Clanna Ruadruide stand about 
the king on the Bruiteine of Ardsceulact as was done before 
founding Aodmagnmaca, in order that every one may hear the 
word of the king, and they should be many on account of the 
action of these times And it was so. A platform was built 
one step higher than the ground for the king, and every prince 
of Er and noble of Ullad, chieftains, ollams, tribunes of the 
people, and the elected judges, stood on one side of the king 
on the other side the Clanna Ruadruide in full panoply, the 
whole composed a great circle around the king. And the king 
raised his voice saying: From the day Maca daughter of Aod 
queen of Ciombaot died, two hundred and thirty-five years to 
the reign of Ruadruide Mor, the sons of Er dwelt in Ullad 
avoiding the destruction of nobles and Gaal as in Mumain and 
Laigean, yea even they assassinated kings and princes in their 
pavilions in time of peace. The sons of Leogaire and the sons 
of Gialcad threw half of Errion into confusion, and the nobles 
of Mumain aided the sons of Leogaire on account of Aine of 
Coriat. And the prince of Ib-Lugad held the balance of power, 
to which side he joined became the stronger. Things were 
so until’Aongais Tuirmeac came hither with his son Fearmara 
whom he begot of his own daughter Aine. Ruadruide Mor, 
against the counsel of many gave him permission to take up 


828 


a possession. Fearmara died, and Oilliol Aron his son died. 
Then came Suin with his crimes oí treason and conspiracy. 
When cited to answer for his crimes Suin fled. Cairbre king 
of Mumain gave him refuge. On his account the brave Cairbre 
fell. But Degad the son staid in the land to fulfill the scheme 
set afoot by the father. 

It was I Factna who related to Congaal the secret plots 
and conspiracy of the treasonable son of Suin. Then it was 
that Congaal banished Degad from Ullad, and every subject of 
Laigean with him, they betook themselves to Mumain. Con- 
gaal cited him to answer before the law, but Duac shielded him. 
And the general assembly of Errion fined Duac nine thousand 
head of cattle yearly until he should render up Degad. When 
the borive arrived Congaal sent it to Ultonnmact, the first and 
second year, but Scandt returned it privately to Duac. The 
third year Duac would neither give up Degad nor pay the fine. 
Congaal marched to defend the law, it transpired that Roigne 
king of Laigean turned traitor, by Laigean’s treason Congaal 
fell. Duac son of Iber rules by aid of Iolar, and Degad the 
felon sits viceroy of Mumain. It is an open page to all that 
the race of Iolar is treacherous, coveting authority and sway, 
and because Iolar first assumed the title of Ermion at a date 
when the sons of Iber and our ancestor Er were young, they 
think they should rule Ardrig always! The stem which Ruad- 
ruide Mor suffered to grow in this land, by the assistance of 
Iber and Laigean if we are not careful, will cast a dark cloud 
over Errion. When Congaal everted the root from the soil 
Cairbre and Duac transplanted it in Mumain to again trample 
on the laws of Errion. Mumain and Laigean are now of one 
accord, and Ultonnmact is with them, therefore doth Ullad 
stand alone without a friend but the tract of the laws of Errion, 
and if they prove not sufficiently powerful alas for the children 
of Ullad and alas and pity for Errion! When Duac sat two 
years Ardrig he did not convoke the general assembly of Er- 
rion to Teacmor Tabarta proffering as excuse the death of 
Roigne king of Laigean. Four years elapsed, the curriers did 
not go forth, it is alleged that fear for Degad restrains Duac, 
but the story is not true. If all the kingdoms of Errion are 
with Duac except Ullad why should he fear for Degad? No, 


829 


this is not the motive, but he does this on the advice of Iolar, 
íor the race oí Iolar detests the law, they do this to trample 
and bring the law into disrespect. Therefore what if an em- 
bassy be sent to Ardrig at Teacmor, saying: Let the kings, 
princes, chieftains, ollavs, and tribunes of the people, be called 
to Teacmor Tabarta according to the decree of the tract of the 
laws? The assembly raised the right hand. The king con- 
tinued: Let all stay in Aodmagnmaca or the vicinity until the 
embassy returns to us, and we will confer on the reply. 

The embassy went and returned with the words of Ardrig, 
these were they: What if Ullad be too small for the pride of 
Er, yet must Factna stay there, for when Ardrig feels the want 
of advice he will consult those of his choice. The assembly and 
the “Clanna Ruadruide” were convened again on the Bruiteine, 
and the words of Duac Ardrig were read publicly in their hear- 
ing. The king arose and said: Will Ullad suffer Errion to 
be ruled by an individual who puts up his own will against the 
law? Or will the chieftains array the comlanns and dethrone 
one unworthy to reign! Then the chieftain of Magmortiomna 
arose and said: What if Duac the traitorous murderer of 
Congaal be torn from the throne and removed from the sight 
of men? But the king said: The children of Er thank the 
young chieftain of Magmortiomna for his love for Congaal. but 
if Breas considers he will understand that he has spoken over- 
hastily, Duac and Roigne acted deceitfully, but war and the 
chase are full of stratagems. It is not the fall of Congaai, the 
injustice of which Ullad speaks in the name of Errion ror re- 
dress. Duac broke the law for the sake of Degad, ana super- 
added to the transgression when he failed to convoke the gen- 
eral assembly of Errion at the appointed times. It is for these 
transgressions Duac must make redress. Therefore O Breas 
if it pleases thee the king of Ullad would say: What if Duac 
answer for his transgressions of the law? And it was so. 

Then the king commanded: Let every chieftain collect his 
comlanns on the greatest war footing, for it is necessary that 
Ullad should march in full force. At this juncture the cromfir 
came to the king whispering in his ear: Will not the king 
permit the cromfir to accompany the army marching to battle? 
The king replied: No, the cromfir speak deceitfully in their 


830 


whispers, they were go-betweens íor Suin and Laigean, and 
Degad and Mumain, and íor Mumain and Laigean. Now you 
ask leave of me to do the evil hidden in your breasts against 
the children of Er? Listen to the words of Eocaid Ollav Fodla 
the just law giver: — 

Let the cromfir guard the sacred fire, and mark the seasons. 
So saith Factna his son—O cromfir dwell peacefully! At this 
same juncture Ardrig prepared for war, he sent his swift riders 
through Laigean, and Degad massed the comlanns of Murnain, 
and began to draw as he supposed the chiefs of Ultonnmact, 
but they said to him: We remain within our own territory, 
notwithstanding he thought he would draw them by art, but 
he knew not the Danaan for the Danaan never spoke a word 
but with sincerity of heart. Still buoyed with hope and proud 
of the day Congaal fell by the strategy of Degad, he massed 
the comlanns of Laigean and Mumain on the plain of Sithdruim. 

They understood Factna would follow them, there they en- 
camped. Now when the army of Ullad was arrayed on Arddeas 
so mighty was the muster, that there was some doubt as to 
provisions should the war be protracted, the “Clanna Ruadruide” 
answered: There are sufficient stores while we are in Ullad, 
after that Laigean and Mumain will supply us! The king 
heard the word of the Clanna Ruadruide, and hastened to their 
camp, and entering their great circle he said: Shall we follow 
the practice of Mumain and Laigean and turn the mighty chil- 
dren of Er into cow-drivers and spoilsmen? 

Let no such word pass for the future. With that Factna 
said: Let the old men and the youths gather up the cattle of 
the king’s estate and from the estates of the princes of Er, 
and follow in the wake of the army with them. When the com- 
lanns of Ullad marched through Laigean the land was lonely 
and deserted, all were at Sithdruim. When they came in sight 
of the plain they saw Mumain and Laigean in their thousands 
marching on Ardbreiste, and all the upland was covered with 
their tents, but Ullad encamped its army on the plain and forti- 
fied its position. The following morning at Baal’s first illumina- 
tion each army was arrayed, the comlanns of Mumain marched 
down the slope of the hill, Factna ordered the heralds to pro- 
claim in the hearing of all: The king of Ullad stands on the 


831 

land of Mumain to hear why Ardrig shields Degad a fugitive 
felon, and why he keeps the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
closed contrary to the law? Duac answered the heralds: We 
will chase the law makers of Ullad out of Mumain without 
delay. Factna challenged Duac to single combat, but Duac 
did not follow the heralds, the first king of the race of Iber 
who failed to respond to the challenge. The battle raged all 
day long from early morning until twilight, and Ullad drove 
Mumain and Laigean before her, and the Clanna Ruadruide 
sought Duac and tracked him to the centre of his forces, and 
they charged through his army and killed Duac, but they did 
not find Degad, he and the forces of Laigean fled headlong, leav- 
ing the comlanns of Mumain to the edge of the battle. The 
plain was covered with heaps of the slain, the soil was soft 
with blood. Duac and twenty-seven thousand fell in the battle 
of Ardbreaiste. Duac reigned seven years, and is called “Duac 
Dalta Degad.” 





XII. Book. XII. Chapter. Reign of Factna son of Cas son of 
Ruadruide Mor king of Ullad Ardrig twenty-three years 30 to 7 
B.C. (See Annals of kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 86. Age 
of world 5042. Under the name of Factna Fatac. Also Annals 
of Clonmacnois.) 





Now in the battle of Ardbreiste multitudes of the princes and 
nobles of Mumain fell with Duac, but the princes of Laigean 
did not stand, they fled with Degad, as they had fled with Suin 
when Cairbre fell, Factna ordered that they should select the 
corpses of Duac and the princes of Iber from the common burial, 
and they constructed their carn on the plain. They chanted the 
death cry and sang the war song over the fallen princes and 
chieftains, but not over Duac, because he did not respond to the 
challenge of the heralds. The army of Ullad marched to Teac- 
mor, and Factna pitched his tents on Tabarta, and though he 
had no ambition for the throne of Errion his followers counseled 
him to occupy it in order to stay the foot of Laigean. When 
the assembly of Mumain convened on the Bruiteine at Brugrig, 
they elected Lugad the brother of Duac king over Mumain. 
Factna dispatched the curriers through Errion to summon the 


832 

Kings, princes, chieítains, and tribunes oí the people, to the 
high-chamber oí Teacmor Tabarta to elect an Ardrig. When 
the general assembly of Errion sat the first session, they elected 
Factna king of Ullad Ardrig, and after the reading of the writ- 
ings they went forth and celebrated the feast of Teacmor and 
the games of contest on the campus of Tabarta. Every ses- 
sion was carried out according to ancient practice. It transpired 
that the mind and judgment of the prince of Ib-Lugad and many 
of the princes of Mumain turned against Degad. All the princes 
who were of the age to stand in battle had fallen. The princes 
and nobles of Mumain knew no fear until Duac, but what did 
his cowardice avail him? Did he not perish notwithstanding? 
After Factna had reigned one year he sent forth the curriers 
through Errion summoning the assembly to Tabarta. And Ard- 
rig saw Scandt king of Ultonnmact and wiped his jealousy 
against the children of Er. Factna was the same to every one 
who followed the right. He was a friend to every one. The 
nobles rejoiced that they could convene again in peace and hap- 
piness. 

Factna paid a visit to the Mur-n-ollav of Teacmor, and it 
was sad the condition in which it was even since the short 
time since he had been at Tabarta in place of Congaal. He 
inspired the ollavs with courage, and spoke kindly to the hand- 
ful of youths who were present. After the days of the conven- 
tion Ardrig went to Aodmagnmaca, and left Feargais son of 
Seid in his place in Teacmor. He convened the assembly of 
Ullad, and the king and nobles of Ultonnmact were in the cham- 
ber. After the sessions of the assembly they celebrated the 
feast, during the feast Factna said to Scandt: Rosruad son of 
Ros and Allita has words for the ear of Scandt and his race. 
And Rosruad arose and gave his hand to Scandt, and said pub- 
licly: As long as a single one of the Danaan shall be alive, 
Ros will not think of the kingdom of Ultonnmact, and he will 
teach the same mind to his posterity. They gave the hand of 
friendship to each other. It was then Ardrig said: Now the 
peace of Errion is established. When the king and nobles of the 
Danaan set out for home he gave them munificent gifts. Factna 
rules with wisdom and justice, he loves peace, but trains the 
spirit of the youth to battle. In the seventh year of Factna’s 


833 


reign Melis the Ardollav, died and when the ollavs held their 


conference they elected Feilmid son of Mararda Ardollam of 
Ullad. 


In the sixteenth year of the reign of Factna, Fionnlaoc king 
of Laigean expired, when the assembly of Laigean sat on the 
Bruiteine of Magnas, they elected Eocaid his son in his place 
king over Laigean. In these days Factna had fulfilled seven- 
teen years of his reign in peace and contentment, the Gaal were 
happy and fortunate throughout the land when word came 
unto him that Eocaid king of Laigean was kindling conspiracy 
and treason in the land, and that he sent the cromfir to Ultonn- 
mact, to speak privately with the cromfir of that kingdom 
Degad likewise dwelt in Ultonnmact but not for the purpose 
of doing good. Factna indicted letters to Eocaid regarding the 
subjects he had heard, although the words were not inscribed 
on the book of the Chronicles of Ullad. Peace still obtained 
in the land. In the twenty-third year of the reign of Factna 
Ardrig he went to Dunsoberce, and he sailed the royal galley 
on the waters of the Foist. He intended to sail across to the 
chieftaincy of Ardtan, he had not sailed far when he beheld a 
great fire flaming up beyond Dunsoberce. 


Fearing that it was the Mur-n-ollav on fire that made the 
great blaze, he returned, and leaving the ship in haste his foot 
slipped and he fell into the water, and was wetted to thé skin, 
notwithstanding he rode quickly to the place of the conflagra- 
tion, which happened to be a cluster of the habitations of the 
Gaal. A good space passed before he returned to Dunsoberce, 
he was overheated with the fire and exertion, and rested poorly 
that night, but made no mention that he suffered until too late. 


On the eighteenth day of his illness he died. It was thus 
Factna son of Cas son of Ruadruide Mor terminated his latest 
day. No one of the race excelled him. There was weeping and 
profound sorrow, though he loved peace he did not fear the 
battle, therefore is his name written on the roll of the kings of 
Ullad and of Teacmor “Factna Adac.” Factna the Forunate. 
He was buried in Dunsoberce and they founded his cairn near 
the cairn of Eocaid Ollav Fodla. But the children of the land 
mourned Factna many days. 


834 
XII. Book. XIII. Chapter. Reign of Cairbre son of Factna 
Fatac king of Ullad Ardrig one year 7 to 6 B.C. (See Annals 


of kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 90. Age of world 5192. 
‘Under the name Cairbre Conncobar Abradruad.) 





After the death of Factna when the assembly of Ullad sat 
on the Bruiteine of Ardsceulact, they elected Cairbre the oldest 
son of Factna, king over Ullad. At this same juncture Lugad 
king of Mumain expired, and when the assembly of Mumain 
convened on the Bruiteine they elected Craobtan his son king 
over Mumain. Then the curriers went forth through Errion, 
saying: Let the kings, princes, chieftains, ollavs and tribunes 
of the people, convene in the high-chamber of Teacmor Tabarta 
to elect Ardrig for the throne is vacant. At the first session 
of the general assembly they elected Cairbre king of Ullad Ard- 
rig over Errion, but he did not go forth to Liafail. The Ardol- 
lav read the writings of Eolus and the book of Chronicles of 
Gaalag publicly, and the assembly went forth to celebrate the 
feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the campus of . 
Tabarta. Now so great was the aversion of Craobtan son of Lu- 
gad king of Mumain for the children of Er, that he declined 
to sit at the banquet board with them. It was easily perceived 
that conspiracy and treason were on foot, for Degad was still 
alive in Ultonnmact, and Eocaid king of Laigean feared to move 
while Factna lived. The cromfir of Laigean were with Degad 
inciting the Danaan. When the general assembly of Errion 
convened the second time, half of the nobles of Mumain were 
not in their places, Tireis chieftain of Ib-Dronag arose and 
. said: What if Craobtan king of Mumain say why a third part 
of the nobles of Mumain are not present in the high-chamber? 
Craobtan king of Mumain arose in answer: Fellow rulers of 
Errion is it possible that Tireis does not know the cause? Does 
he not know that after the battle of Ardbreiste that a prince of 
the age remained not with the living? They fell with Duac in 
the slaughter which Factna son of Cas made so treasonably 
against the brave men of Mumain! Now if they are not pres- 
ent perhaps they are building carns over their relatives on the 
‘plain of Ardbreiste? A murmur ran through the assembly. 
But Cairbre arose and said such language is uncalled for, and 


835 


not permissable in the presence oí the assembly. Ardrig ordered 
the Ardollam to read publicly the practice of Tanasteac, and 
the tract of the law of Errion. And it was so. On the last 
day, he read the book of Chronicles of Errion. When the her- 
alds proclaimed: Stands any one on Tabarta demanding justice? 
No voice replied. Then the great portals of the high-chamber 
were closed and each member wended his way to his own 
stronghold, and Ardrig set out for Aodmagnmaca, where he 
summoned the assembly of Ullad to meet at the Bruiteine of 
Ardsceulact. He spoke of the war-cloud that was spreading 
over Errion. He in like manner spoke to each chieftain; equip 
your Phalanx on a war footing, practice them unceasingly in the 
tactics of Seadna, for undoubtedly war will break out. He com- 
manded that the ranks of the Clanna Ruadruide be filled up to 
their full muster. Ardrig passed the first year of his reign in 
Ullad organizing the comlanns, and preparing for any event 
that might happen. After that he appointed Conncobar his 
brother viceroy of Ullad, and set out for Teacmor. After cross- 
ing the Eider, he fortified his camp that night on Magmortiomna. 
At the middle hour of the night, when all were sunk in sleep 
but the sentinels, like a flash a battallion of the conspirators 
dashed upon the sentinels and cut them to pieces and quickly 
entering the camp without alarm they murdered Cairbre as he 
slept in his pavilion. The few who survived the midnight sur- 
prise bore the weight of Cairbre back to Aodmagnmaca, and 
made his carn close to the carn of Aod. When the assembly 
of Ullad convened on the Bruiteine of Ardsceulact, they elected 
Conncobar brother of Cairbre, king over Ullad. 





XII. Book. XIV. Chapter. Reign of Craobtan son of Lugad 
king of Mumain, Ardrig from the sixth year before Christ down. 
(See Annals of kingdom of Ireland Vol. I. Page 92. Age of 
world 5193. Under the name Craobtan Niadnair. Also Book of 
Invasion.) 





After the assassination of Ardrig on Magmortiomna the 
curriers went forth through Errion summoning the kings, 
princes, chieftains, ardollavs and tribunes of the people, to 
convene as the general assembly of Errion in the high-chamber 


836 


of Teacmor Tabarta to choose an Ardrig. When the assembly 
sat the first session they elected Criobtan son of Lugad king 
of Mumain Ardrig, and he went forth to Liafail and the ard- 
cromfear of Laigean placed the eisaon on his brow and the 
royal robe on his shoulders, and returning to the high-chamber 
he occupied the throne. When Conncobar king of Ullad arose 
he said: After the days of the feast Conncobar hath words 
for the ear of the general assembly of Errion. Then the Ardol- 
lav read the writings, and the assembly went forth, and. cele- 
brated the feast of Teacmor and the games of contest on the 
campus of Tabarta. Great were the multitudes which came to 
Tabarta and about it, for Craobtan was high minded, worthy, 
and disposed to magnificence. When the assembly sat the sec- 
ond session Conncobar king of Ullad arose and said: 

A quarter, since my brother at that time Ardrig, on his way 
to Tabarta, was murdered at midnight while he slept under cover 
of his tent. Ardrig answered: If Conncobar king of Ullad 
would make the indictment according to practice to the chief- 
judge of Teacmor, so that the sentence of the law may be pro- 
nounced against the culprit? But Conncobar said: We are 
not certain, but it is alleged that the chieftain of Remion from 
Morcean, and Degad from Suin, were the captains of the band 
of murderers. Since it chanced that Degad was an exile, the 
heralds called for the chieftain of Remion, but he did not an- 
swer. The Ardrig ordered out a company of trackers to bring 
in Degad and the chieftain of Remion, but in truth they were 
not to be found anywhere. Each session of the convention 
was carried out according to ancient usage. None stood on 
Tabarta demanding justice. The assembly dissolved each mem- 
ber going to his own stronghold. And again the great white 
shield of peace hung over Errion, for Craobtan safeguards the 
observance of the law. There is none of the clamor of prepar- 
ing for battle, nor the march of the phalanx alarming the land. 
The Gaal multiply in peace and contentment. Craobtan Ardrig 
summons the general assembly of Errion to the high-chamber 
of Teacmor Tabarta at the appointed times. 

Now in the eighth year of the reign of Craobtan Ardrig, 
what time Conncobar son of Factna was king of Ullad, and 
Feilmid son of Mararda Ardollav, and Scandt of the line of 


Se Ae ee ee mean Oe 


837

GENEAOLOGY OF THE O’CARROLLSY’ 


OLIM HAEC MEMINISSE JUVABIT 
Virgil. 

It is not easy to instill the juicy flavor of interest into the 
dry branch of genealogy. Nevertheless since it transpires that 
every tribe prizes the knowledge and traditions of its origin, 
and its history from that source down, and because there are 
numbers of the clan Carroll still living in every part of the 
world, perchance there would be some quantum of pleasure 
for them even in the dry word of their genealogy? In con- 
sideration of them I place the case as it is. 

At first the Saorclanna of the Gael after their arrival in 
Erin, and after subduing the Tuatha de Danaan, were divided 
into twenty-seven tribes: The nine tribes of Iber in Munster, 
and Iber was their first king. . The nine tribes of Iolair in 
Gaalen (the ancient name of Leinster) and Iolair was their 
first king. The nine tribes of Er in the kingdom of Ulster and 
Er was their first king. There were moreover the tribes of the 
principality of Ib-Lugad, a territory granted to prince Lugad 
the son of Ith, because his father first came to Erin to explore 
it and make ready for the coming of the Gaal. The clanmacne 
O’Carroll were renowned amongst the famous tribes of Erin. 
Of them the poet sang: 

The O’Carrols also famed when fame was only for the 
boldest ; 
Rest in forgotten sepulchers, with Erin’s best and oldest.

I herewith subjoin the names of the ancestors of the O'Car- 
rols’, a noble galaxy of kings and heroes indeed they are. They 
hark back in a direct line from son to father to Iber the son of 
Bile, the first king of Munster. The four sons of Bile led the ary- 
an Gaal from Spain to Erin, after the defeat and death of Bile 
their father. His army was cut to pieces by Sru the son of 
Ammon (Hercules) in the year 1003 before Christ. 

Thadg was the first to assume the surname Carroll (pierc- 
ing eyed) because his eyes were so piercing bright, they seemed 
. to see through the countenance and mind as well, wonderful 
was the brightness that shone forth from them in time of com- 
bat and battle. Indeed it became a tribal mark inherited by 
the clanmacne O’Carroll to have lustrous, brilliant, sharp blue 
eyes. It is related that the terror piercing eyes of Thadg pierced 
the heart of his adversary before he even aimed his spear at his 
body! 

But Thadg was the:

son of Eocaid Faobarglas 

son of Conmaoil 

son of Iber, whose surname was Fionne, the 
first king over Munster, the son of Bile after whom the Gaal 
are incorrectly called Mileasians. As stated Thadg was sur- 
named Carrol on account of the piercing blue battle-bright eyes 
he had. The imperial monarch Corbmac bestowed him tribal 
lands. The Annals of the kingdom of Ireland says: 

“The age of Christ two hundred twenty-six. Fergus Dub- 
deadeac son of Iomcada was king over Ireland for the space of 
a year, when he fell in the battle of Crionna (CinnCumair), 
by Cormac the grandson of Conn (on the second day of Au- 
gust) by the hand of Lugad Laighe. There fell by him also 
in the rout across Breagh, his two brothers Feargus the long- 
haired and Feargus the Firey, who was called Feargus Caisfia- 
calac (crooked-toothed). Of them was said: 


840 
Upon one stone Rathcro, 
Were slain the three Fearguses, 
Corbmac said this is fine, 
His hand did not fail Laighe. 

In the army of Corbmac came Thadg the son of Cian, and 
Lugad his brother to that battle; and it was as a territorial 
reward for hte battle that Corbmac gave Thadg the land on 
which are the Ciannacta, in Mag-Breagh, as is celebrated in 
other books. In the year two hundred thirty-four Ollio!;Olum 
king of Munster and grandfather, of Thadg king of Ely, died. 

As the Annals of the kingdom of Ireland relates: “Age of 
Christ two hundred thirty-four. The eighth year of Corbmac 
in the sovereignty of Erin. Aillil Olom the son of Mag Nuadat, 
the king of Munster died.” 

From the days of Thadg Carroll to the sixteenth century . 
the territory of Ely-O’Carroll situated in the king’s county was 
the tribe lands of the clanmacne O’Carroll. That territory was 
a grant from Corbmac the highking to Thadg Carroll and to 
his brother Lugad because by their valor they won the victory 
at the battle of Crionna Cin Cumair for Corbmac. For it was 
Lugad who slew the three Fearguses with his own hand, and 
their army was put to rout. After that victory Corbmac was 
elected high king. Many a warrior king, brave hero, and valiant 
knight sprung from this tribe. Many a patriotic lord it gave to 
its country, and many a saint and learned bishop it gave the 
church. Certainly from the days of Patrick perhaps before that 
time, for. many of the annalists surmise that Thadg Carroll, 
and his friend Corbmac the monarch, and Fionn the captain 
of his guards were christians, that they received the faith and 
the knowledge of Christ from those who fled from the Romans 
to Ireland. Especially on account of the mystic tradition of the 
“EO FEASA” even that blessed fish which Fionn and Thadg 
did eat, and by the bones of which the druids by their incanta- 
tions did cause Corbmac to be choked to death. They main- 
tain that the “eo feasa” or blessed fish is identical with that 
secret sign common to all christians during the ages of perse- 
cution: Ichtus. (i. e. Iesos Christos Theos Uios Soter. Being 
the initial letters of Jesus Christ, God Son Savior). But with- 
out doubt from the time they became christians, they were pro- 














s41 


foundly spiritual, zealous, and steadfast in the Faith. The clan- 
macne O'Carroll were wise in council, brave in battle, and 
Christlike in their piety. They were also blessed with noted 
longevity, likely a reward for their virtue? That they were 
valiant in war is demonstrated by the lives of many of them. 
The Annals of the kingdom of Ireland says: “The age of Christ 
five hundred twenty-eight. The first year of Tautal Maolgarb 
son of Corbmac caoec, son of Cairbre, son of Niall in the sov- 
ereignty of Ireland. The battle of Luachair mor between the 
two ionbiors, which is called the battle of Ailbhe in Breagh, by 
Tuathal Maolgrab against the Ciannacta of Meath. The fourth 
year of Tuathal. The battle of Claonloc in cineal Aodh, by 
Goibhneann, chief of UiFiacrac-Aidne where Maine the son of 
Carroll was killed in defending the hostages of UiMaine of Con- 
naught.” Concerning Dermott O’Carroll the high king of Erin 
the Annals say page 182. “The age of Christ 552. 
The feast of Tara was made by the king of Ireland Diarataid, 
son oí Feargais Carroll. It was Diarmaid Carroll the 
high king also who “passed sentence against Colum Cille about 
a book oí Finnen, which Colum had transcribed without the 
knowledge oí Finnen, when they leít it to the award oí Diar- 
maid, who pronounced the celebrated decision “To every cow 
belongs its calf.” And again “The age of Christ 590. 
The battle of Eadan mor was gained by Fiacna O’Carroll the 
son of Baedan O’Carroll the son of Carroll the son of Muredac 
Muindearg, over Gertide lord of Cianacta” Annals of the king- 
dom of Ireland page 218. “The battle of Sliab-Cua in Munster 
was gained by Fiacna O’Carroll the son of Baedan.” Annals 
of the kingdom of Ireland again. “The age of Christ 595. The 
first year of the Aodh Slaine O’Carroll the son of Diarmaid 
O’Carroll, the son of Feargus O’Carroll and of Colman Rimid 
O’Carroll in the sovereignty of Ireland.” And again “The age 
of Christ 647, Doncad and Connal O’Carrol two sons 
of Blatmac O’Carroll, son of Aodh Slaine O’Carroll, were slain 
by the Leinster men, in the mill-race of the mill of Maolodran, 
son of Dima Cron. Marcan and Maolodran mortally wounded 
the two; of which Maolodran said: 

O mill, which grindest much of wheat; 

It was not grinding oats thou wert, when thou didst grind 

the seed of Carroll.” 














842 

And again. “The age of Christ 657. The first year of Diar- 
maid and Blathmac O'Carroll, two sons oí Aodh Slaine O'Carroll 
the son of Diarmaid, son oí Feargus Carroll in the sovereignty 
of Ireland. Age of Christ 670. The first year of Ceanfealad 
O’Carroll, son of Blathmac O’Carroll in the sovereignty of 
Ireland. Annals. 

So it reads adown the centuries ,and demonstrates by the 
lives of many kings and heroes that they were mighty and 
valiant men. That they were longlived and virtuous is also 
shown by many examples: In the year of our Lord 1031. Con- 
naing O’Carroll the Aircinneac of Glendalough died in the one 
hundred and ninth year of his age. A man noted for his scholar- 
ship, philosophy, and sanctity. As the Annals of the kingdom 
of Ireland say: “The age of Christ 1031. And Connaing O’Car- 
rol Aircinneac of Glenda loca, the head of the piety and Charity 
of the Gael died.” Again in the year of grace 1168 Lugad 
O’Carroll the distinguished bishop of Ruis-Ailitir died in the 
ninety-eighth year of his age. It should not be inferred that 
profound piety was limited to the clergy of the tribe, it was 
the glorious attribute of chieftain and tribesman as well. Again 
the Annals bear testimony: “Age of Christ 1168. Don- 
cad O’Carroll lord of Airgialla flood of splendor and magnifi- 
cence, died after being mangled with his own battle ax by a 
man of his own people. i. e. UaDuibne, one of the cineal Eoghain, 
—after the victory of unction and penance, and after bestow- 
ing three hundred ounces of gold, for the love of God, upon 
clerics and churches. So it was down the illustrious line of this 
noble tribe to the days of Maoilruainead O’Carroll, whose un- 
stinted praises the Annals of the four masters firmly set forth 
in the following words: Age of Christ 1532. 
“O’Carroll Maoilruainead, the most distinguished man of hó 
own tribe for generosity, valor, prosperity, and renown; a man 
to whom the poets, the exiled, the clergy, and the learned were 
indebted; who had gathered and bestowed more wealth than 
any other person of his stock; a protecting hero to all; the guid- 
ing firm helm of his tribe; a triumphant traverser of tribes; 
a jocund and majestic Munster champion; a precious stone; 
a carbuncle gem; the anvil of the solidity, and the golden pillar 
of the Elyians, died in his own fortress, on the festival day 














843 


of Saint Mathew the evangelist, and his son Fearganainm was 
inaugurated in his place, On that very day, and before the 
death of Maolruainead, his sons defeated the Earl of Ormund 
and the sons of John O’Carroll, who were deprived of many men 
and horses, and of cannon called falcons in consequence of 
which the ford at which the defeat was given was called Bel-ata 
feabcuin; and this was Maolruainead’s last victory. His Fear- 
ganainm (as we have already stated), was styled the O’Carroll, 
in preference to his seniors, the sons of John O’Carroll. Many 
evils resulted to the country in consequence of this, for the 
sons of John first took the castle of Birr, and plundered the 
country out of it. The son of the Pairsuin O’Carroll was slain 
on the Green of Birr by Tadgh caoic, the son of O’Carroll. 
After this O’Carroll drew his cliamain father-in-law the Earl 
of Kildare, lord justice of Ireland, against the sons of John and 
they took the castle of Oill-Iurin, the castle of Eaglais, and the 
castle of Baile-an-duna. They afterwards sat round Birr and 
a fight was continued between them and the warders of the 
castle, until a ball fired from the castle, entered the side of 
the Earl, but this circumstance was kept secret until the castle 
was taken. The Earl returned home, and the ball remained 
in him until the following spring, when it came out at his other 
side. It was in commemoration of the death of Maolruainead 
O'Carroll that the following quatrain was composed: _ 

One thousand and five hundred years, 

Twenty years and twelve beside, 

From the birth of Christ who saved us 

To the autumn when O'Carroll died. 

Annals kingdom of Ireland. “The age of Christ 1536. ——. 
Doncad O’Carroll deposed Fearganainm and Uathne Carraig 
” O'Carroll his own brother, and deprived both of the lordship.” 
Concerning the death of Fearganainm O'Carroll, son of Maol- 
ruainead, the Annals say page 1461. “O'Carroll (Fearganainm 
the son of Maloruainead) was treacherously slain (he being 
blind) by Tadhg the son of Doncad, son of John O’Carroll and 
his kinsmen, and by the son of O’Maolmuad (John the son of 
Donall caoic), in the castle of CluanLisc; but though O’Carroll 
was an old man, he, nevertheless, displayed great prowess and 
strength in defending himself against his slayers, which gained 


844 : 


him a name and renown. Twelve oí his people were killed 
along with him. Ina manuscript missal in Trinity college Dub- 
lin, The death of Fearganainm O’Carroll, is commemorated as 
follows, ‘This man (Man-without-name) died. He was lord 
and prince of Ely, and was killed in his own fortress Cluanlisc 
by an unkown and one might say an unprovided death. He 
was great and wise and of wonderful fortitude; may God be 
merciful to his soul, amen.” 

“The age of Christ 1548. . Mora the daughter of O’Car- 
roll, a woman of distinguished virtue died.” “Calvagh O Carroll 
(1548) went to Dublin to the great court and was taken by 
treachery, and imprisoned in the king’s castle nor was any 
suffered to know why he was taken, or how much would be 
demanded for his ransom. Behold the Saxon treachery.” Then 
the Lietutenant and Edmond a Faii made two incursions into 
Ely, which very much alarmed O’Carroll; and a war broke out 
between him and them in consequence. Not long after this Ed- 
mond a Faii requested MacCoghlan and the people of Delvin 
to accompany him on a predatory excursion into Ely. This 
they refused to do and Edmond became highly enraged and 
incensed on account of it, so that hostilities broke out between 
them: and O’Carroll and MacCoghlan banished Edmond for his 
insolence and tyranny towards them. They took the castle of 
Oillcommon and the castle of CeanCurad from him and thus 
he was deprived of Delvin after it had been half a year in cruel 
bondage under him.” “Saigir-Ciarin and Oiull-Corbmac were 
burned and destroyed by the English and O’Carroll. The Lieu- 
tenant and the English made an incursion into Delvin at the 
instance of Edmond a Faii (in revenge for his expulsion) and 
burned and plundered the country from Bealac-an-Fotair to To- 





car-Cinn-Monaand also Baile-Mag-Uallacain in Lusmag. They ' 


remained encamped for one night at Baile-na-Cloce, and re- 
turned on the morrow with booty and spoils without receiving 
battle or opposition.” ————.” The castles of Ely and Delvin 
were demolished through fear of the English namely Banagher, 
the castle of Mag-Istean, and Clocan-nag-Capac. 

The Red Captain made an army against O’Carroll to Carrac- 
na-Comrac, where O’Carroll gave them battle and slew forty 
or sixty of them. The Red Captain made three incursions into 














845 


Carrac-na-Comraic in one guarter oí a year, but he was not 
able to do any damage to the pass or the castle, and returned 
without obtaining submission, having also received insult and 
lost several of his people.” “O'Carroll burned Nenagh upon 
the Red Captain, both monastery and town, írom the íortress 
out. On this occasion he also burned the monastery of Uaithne 
banished the Saxons out of it, and created great confusion 
among them, by which he weakened their power, and diminshed 
their bravery, so that he ordered them all out of his country, 
except a few warders who were at Nenagh in the tower of 
MacManus.” “The age of Christ 1549. . A great court 
was held by the lord chief justice in Limerick, to which O’- 
Carroll repaired, under the safe conduct of the Earl of Des- 
mond, the Mayor of Limerick, and the chiefs of the English 
and the Irish who were present at that court and he returned 
home safely with terms of peace for himself and his Irish con- 
federates, namely MacMorrough, O’Kelly, O’Meluaghlin, and 
many others not enumerated. Baile-Mic-Adam was taken from 
Edmond a Faii, and the O’Carrolls returned to it again; in 
consequence of which there was great rejoicing and exultation 
in Ely.” “A Captain’s first expedition was made by O'Carroll 
(William Odar the son of Fearganainm, son of Maolruainead, 
son of John) against Mac-Ui-Brian of Aara, i. e. Thorlough 
the son of Mutough son of Donnall-na son of Thadg son of 
Morough na Raitnige. On this occasion O’Carroll at once de- 
vastated and totally destroyed the country from Beul-an-ata 
to Muillean-UiOgain. On the same day he slew MacUiBrian’s 
brother namely the son of Murtough, a distinguished captain, 
by no means the worst of the youth of the descendants of Brian 
Ruad. Mac UiBrian afterwards made a muster of his friends 
to go and avenge this dishonor upon the O'Carroll; and as 
soon as his lordly bands had assembled around him, he marched 
forward, resolved to ravage the territory of HyCairn on that 
expedition. Destiny had so disposed affiars for O’Carroll, that 
he was on the summit of a hill in HyCairn, listening to the 
country around him; and it was from the foot of the hill on 
which O’Carroll was stationed that Mac UiBrian sent forth a 
body of his scouts to plunder the districts. When the youths had 
gone from him, he saw O’Carroll approaching him in battle 





846 


array, and in fighting order and not one of those who were be. 
fore him was able to withstand his strength, or escape by 
flight. Every man oí Mac UiBrian's people able to bear arms 
was slain. 

His constable Heremon, the son of Gilla-Duv, son of Conor, 
son of Donough MacSweeney was slain. Mac UiBrian himself 
was taken prisoner and there was profit in giving him quarter, 
for he was not set at liberty without a ransom.” Annals king. 
“The age of Christ 1561. . Uaithne O'Carroll the son 
oí Fearganainm, son oí Maolruainead son of John O'Carroll 
was slain at Baile-Ui-Cuirc in Ormond. Those who surrounded 
him were not worthy to have wounded or taken him. The land 
of Ely was an orphan after him, for they felt the loss of their 
help and protection after the death of Uaithne.” Annals king- 
dom of Ireland, page 1585. 

The runrad treibe inculcates: 

1. That the tribe-lands are: Ely. 

2. That the tribe-feast is: The second day of August. 

3. That on the second day of August Tadg and his brother 
Lugad won the battle of Crionna Cin Cumair over Feargus 
Duvdeadeac and his army. 

4. That the O’Carrols are endowed with longevity. 

5. That the descendants of the O’Carroll are blue eyed. 

6. That the tribe-prayer is: 

May the blessing of the King who made the division (i.e. 
of His body and blood to His disciples) come upon our posses- 
sions and our company. 

After the death of Uaithne O’Carroll Ely was left an orphan 
as the Annals state, for it was then the sad dispersion came, 
and the noble tribe was scattered like the mists to be wanderers 
in strange lands, after having been despoiled by the treacherous 
and savage conqueror of their hearths and homes, and country. 
Many of them came to the new world, and cast their lot with 
its fortunes against that oppressor who had also been their 
bloody and ruthless adversary. We have an example in the 
person of Charles O’Carroll of Carrollton. Who signed the 
declaration of the Independence on the second day of August 
in the year of Our Lord 1776. And like the descendents of 
the O'Carroll he lived to an advanced age: Ejighty-nine years 








847 
when he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of 
the declaration of Independence, at that time he was the last 
surviving signer . He lived several years after that anniversary. 

Concerning my own father I deem it right to say a word, 
for like all, the O’Carrolls he is blue eyed and of the advanced 
age ninety-nine years at this writing, and is hale and sound in 
body and mind. 

Honor and adoration to God, who in his excellent wisdom 
deals with tribes as He does with individuals, and scatters them 
for a purpose, though the purpose is at times dim or unknown 
to men. But the clanmacne O’Carroll mindful of their ancestral 
piety, bow to the supreme design, accounting it great good for- 
tune to be still in accord with their heavenly Father’s will. 


(Rev.) John J. Carroll, 1910.
